I am a PhD candidate at University of California, Santa Barbara. I am pursuing my research at the intersection of computer vision, graph theory, and computational geometry at Prof. Manjunath's Vision Research Lab. My research takes a principled approach to mathematically model the white matter pathways in the human brain and analyze crucial topological information. A central focus in my research is to build on and apply theoretical tools from computational geometry along with machine learning to mitigate the complexity of brain imaging data. I have been honored as an NSF iRedefine fellow 2023 for my leadership and research potential. Throughout my Ph.D., I have enjoyed teaching and mentorship as much as research. Recently, I have been awarded the Fiona and Michael Goodchild Graduate Mentoring Award by UCSB Graduate Division for my impactful undergraduate mentorship.
In 2018, I graduated with a bachelors degree from the Indian Institute of Technoloy (IIT) Kharagpur, India. My Bachelor of Technology degree is from the Electrical Engineering department.
