About Me

  • Hi, I am Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UIUC advised by professors R Srikant and Rasoul Etesami. I explore the intersection of privacy-preserving machine learning and game theory. My research aims to understand the impact of privacy-preserving techniques on the performance of machine learning models and to provide theoretical interpretations of machine learning models.

  • Before joining UIUC, I worked as a quantitative researcher in the high-frequency equities team at Quadeye Securities, where I designed profitable and efficient algorithmic trading strategies using finance, statistics, and machine learning. I also have a strong background in electrical engineering and computer science, having completed my B.Tech (with honors) in electrical engineering with a minor in computer science and engineering from IIT Bombay. During my undergrad, I briefly worked in compressed sensing and radar signal processing.
