Biography

  • I am an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Before this, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I was hosted by Prof. Munther Dahleh. Before that, I spent five wonderful years pursuing doctoral studies at Texas A&M University, where I was incredibly lucky to be advised by Prof. P. R. Kumar. During Ph.D., I interned at Intel Labs, Santa Clara, California, where I worked on interference cancellation algorithms for next-generation wireless networks, and at National Instruments, Austin, Texas, where I worked on medium access control for millimeter-wave WLANs.
  • My research interests are quite broad and span the areas of security, cyber-physical systems, renewable energy systems and their economics, game theory, mechanism design, millimeter-wave networks, control theory, communication systems, unmanned aerial systems, etc. Please refer to my publications and webpage for more details on the work that I have been doing in these areas.
