I am a fourth-year undergraduate in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay. I’m interested in Stochastic Approximation, MCMC techniques for Optimisation and Baysesian Learning Theory. I’m currently doing my undergrad project on distributed SGD with straggler mitigation with Prof. Vivek Bokar and Prof. Nikhil Karamchandani.

I’m also working with Prof. Subhasis Chaudhari on Active learning for Distance Metric Learning.

I was a visiting research student at Purdue University under Prof. Juan Wachs in ISAT lab, where I worked on Imitation Learning methods for Robotic Surgery

For my Research projects and implementations look at research Tab. And for Technical/application based projects look at projects

I maintain notes for almost everything I learn. Have a look at notes/blog.
