-I am a Ph.D. candidate at [Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering](https://www.cs.washington.edu/){:target="_blank"} at the [University of Washington](https://www.washington.edu/){:target="_blank"}, advised by [Prof. Sewoong Oh](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~sewoong/){:target="_blank"}, and I will be graduating this summer. I enjoy exploring and characterizing phenomena, fundamental quantities, and general laws that emerge at scale in science. Last summer, I interned as a quantitative analyst in the systematic equities group at [The D. E. Shaw Group](https://www.deshaw.com/){:target="_blank"}. I will be joining [The D. E. Shaw Group](https://www.deshaw.com/){:target="_blank"}, NYC as a full-time quantitative analyst this fall.

+I obtained my Ph.D. from the [Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering](https://www.cs.washington.edu/){:target="_blank"} at the [University of Washington](https://www.washington.edu/){:target="_blank"}, where I was fortunate to be advised by [Prof. Sewoong Oh](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~sewoong/){:target="_blank"}. I enjoy exploring and characterizing phenomena, fundamental quantities, and general laws that emerge at scale in science.
 
 Before starting my graduate school, I spent two years as a [Research Fellow](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/lab/microsoft-research-india/research-fellow-program/?#){:target="_blank"} at [Microsoft Research Lab - India](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/lab/microsoft-research-india/){:target="_blank"}, working with [Dr. Praneeth Netrapalli](https://praneethnetrapalli.org/){:target="_blank"} and [Dr. Prateek Jain](http://www.prateekjain.org/){:target="_blank"}. Before this fellowship, I earned my B. Tech. in [Mathematics and Computing](https://www.iitg.ernet.in/maths/acads/btech_struct.php){:target="_blank"} from [IIT Guwahati](http://www.iitg.ac.in/){:target="_blank"} in 2017. These experiences played a crucial role in shaping my subsequent research interests and career pursuits.
 
-In my spare time, I enjoy learning general mathematics, modern finance and world economics.
