Hi! I’m currently in my third year of the PhD program at IIT Bombay, India. I started my PhD journey in 2021 and have the privilege of being guided by Prof. Sunita Sarawagi and Prof. Abir De. My research primarily focuses on the fields of Causal Inference and Algorithmic Recourse. I am grateful to have my PhD studies funded by the Prime Minister Research Fellowship.
Prior to joining IIT Bombay, I gained invaluable experience during my 1.5-year stint at IBM Research. There, I had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge topics, such as Federated Learning, data quality metrics assessment, and user preference aggregation. Before that, I completed my Master’s degree at IISc Bangalore. During my time at IISc, I worked with Prof. M Narasimha Murty on the development of robust representations for nodes in Social Networks, with a specific focus on handling outliers.
