About Me

I am a final year Computer Science Master’s Student at Chennai Mathematical Institute.
Currently I am working on proving correctness of distributed consensus protocols and being advised by Prof M.K. Srivas and Prof. M. Praveen.

My research interests lie broadly in Formal Methods, Game Theory, Mechanism Design, Automata and Machine Learning.

I am also interested in mathematical pedagogy.

Hobbies include rock climbing and collecting pdfs to read later.
