I am a 5th year PhD student, working with Prof. Anshumali Shrivastava at RUSH Lab of Rice University, Electrical and Computer Engineering department. I am working on information retrieval, large scale Machine Learning, and randomized algorithms. Hashing and sketching based methods are my favorites.
During 2014 to July 2018, I was a part of Tata Consultancy Services Innovation Labs, Delhi, India, where I worked with Dr. Gautam Shroff and Dr. Lovekesh Vig. I worked in the area of computer vision, deep learning and augmented reality. You can find my CV and Publications.
I have Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Electrical Engineering (2010-2014) from Indian Institute of Technology,Hyderabad, India. In final year, I worked with Dr. Sumohana Channappayya on Multiple Target Tracking.
Take a look at my recent and old Projects.
Apart from work I often travel and enjoy Photography (500px, Instagram).
