About Me

Hello 👋 I am a researcher primarily interested in reinforcement learning (or, more broadly, sequential decision-making) and stochastic optimization.

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH). Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, where I worked with Prof. Vaneet Aggarwal. I completed my PhD in the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), under the guidance of Dr. Gugan Thoppe.
