About Me
I am a 2nd year CS PhD student at Boston University, where I am advised by Mark Bun. I'm broadly interested in Theory, with a special focus on Differential Privacy and Learning Theory.
Previously, I did a Master's in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology and a Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication Engineering at SSN College of Engineering in Chennai.
