                <p>I am a researcher at <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/lab/microsoft-research-india/">Microsoft Research India</a>. I completed my PhD at <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu">Carnegie Mellon University</a> in 2012 where I was fortunate to have <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~anupamg">Anupam Gupta</a> as my advisor. From 2012-2014, I was a <a href="https://www.simonsfoundation.org/">Simons Postdoctoral Fellow</a> at the CS Department in <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu">Princeton University</a>, and I also spent Fall 2014 visiting the <a href="http://ieor.columbia.edu/">IEOR Department </a> in Columbia University. Long ago, I was an undergrad at <a href="http://www.cse.iitm.ac.in">IIT Madras</a>.

                    	My research interests are in approximation algorithms, especially for graph-(connectivity/flow) problems and clustering problems. I am also interested in models which incorporate uncertainty in the input such as online algorithms and stochastic optimization. <a href="http://repository.cmu.edu/dissertations/157/">Here is a link</a> to my PhD thesis on <b>Approximation Techniques for Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization</b>.
