About Me

I'm a Postdoc in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, advised by Prof. Marc Riedel. I completed my Ph.D. in the same group in 2023. I was born in Jaipur, India.

I like learning random facts about space and biology (though I struggle remembering the latter)!

Research

My research focus is on Bioinformatics, Cancer Genomics, and DNA computing.
