Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of information systems and applied mathematics. My pursuits are directed towards designing efficient/optimal algorithms for information processing tasks in current day networks. In particular, I emphasize designing technology-independent algorithms that are applicable for generic scenarios and providing provable guarantees on their performance. To accomplish this, my research involves developing a general theoretical formulation of the problem and leveraging tools from probability theory, combinatorics, algebra, optimization, among others to design and analyze algorithms. Some of my recent findings include the use of novel techniques for addressing current challenges in data science. My other findings also include new results on certain long-standing problems (For instance see Part I and Part II). My publications detail my research contributions. You may find my research presentations more illustrative.

I presented a tutorial on Quantum Information at SPCOM 2020. I have made available slides of my part of the tutorial here. You may contact me if you wish to view the video of this tutorial.
