About Me
Hi, I am Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Department of Computer Science and Automation (CSA) at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, India. I am blessed to be hosted by Prof. (Assoc.) Dr. Siddharth Barman at IISc. Bangalore. Prior to this, I have completed my Ph.D as Prime Minister Research Fellow in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar, Punjab. Interested in working on various topics, including Fairness in Machine Learning, Recommender Systems, Federated Learning, and Game Theory. I finished my Bachelor's from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Sonepat (Mentor & Campus NIT Kurukshetra).
My research is published in premier computer science journals such as Springer, Taylor & Francis, etc and CORE A*/A conferences such as AAMAS, ECAI, etc . This would not have been possible without the motivational and valuable support of my mentors Dr. Shweta Jain, Dr. Narayanan C. Krishnan (CKN), Dr. Ganesh Ghalme, Prof. (Dr.) Nandalya Hemachandra, Dr. Sujit Gujar and Dr. Virender Ranga.
