Hi there, thanks for stopping by! 👋

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at CU Boulder and am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Sriram Sankaranarayanan, where we are part of the Programming Languages and Verification (CUPLV) lab.

My research interests are in the intersection of Theoretical Machine Learning and Dynamical Systems. I am generally fascinated about building models that can learn complex dynamical systems using machine learning or deep learning techniques. Currently, one of my main goals is to get models to learn physical systems governed by ODEs such as Damped Oscillator, Pendulum, Lotka-Volterra on a small scale, and then scale it up to more complex systems.

Prior to my master’s, I worked close to 4 years in the industry, where I developed products in the domain of algorithms, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. I recieved my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from RV College of Engineering, Bangalore.

In my spare time, I love to bike (Strava) and watch football (#COYG). I am originally from Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, currently living in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
