Profile

I am an M.Tech student in Communication Engineering at IIT Bombay, working with Prof. Vikram M. Gadre on problems at the intersection of signal processing and machine learning — principally the evaluation of generative models using multiresolution and group-theoretic structure.

As part of my research assistantship I serve as a system administrator for the Department of Electrical Engineering, where I maintain the department's web services, authentication infrastructure and network configuration.
