About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL .

I completed my B.Tech. (Bachelor of Technology) + M.S. (Master of Science) by research in Electronics and Communications Engineering at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad through a dual degree progamme. I worked with Prof. Suresh Purini for my Master's thesis; we designed an FPGA based hardware accelerator for stereo vision running 1.6 times faster than the state-of-the-art stereo vision implementations on FPGA in 2020.

You can find my resume here.

Besides academia, I am an ardent cricket fan and a skilled player. I am interested in theories of human origin and behavioral studies of humans from the perspective of psychology.
