About

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at University of Washington advised by Zaid Harchaoui. My research interests involve generative modeling, optimal transport, gradient flows, and deep learning in general. I am interested in application of optimal transport and gradient flows in statistical inference and explainable artificial intelligence. At UW, I am fortunate to be working with Soumik Pal on optimal transport.

I did my undergraduate in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur with a minor in English literature. At IITK, I worked on developing methods for output analysis and convergence diagnostics of Markov chain Monte Carlo and importance sampling with Dootika Vats.
