I am currently a second year students in the Computer Science Theory Group at Stanford University, advised by Moses Charikar and Nima Anari. I did my undergrad (in Math and Computer Science) at MIT, where I was fortunate to do research with Virginia Vassilevska Williams, who was also my academic advisor, and with Vinod Vaikuntanathan.
I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science. Currently, my research interest is geometry of polynomials and its algorithmic applications, especially in sampling/counting problems.
Below is a list of my publications in chronological order. For latest updates, please see my Google Scholar Profile.
