I am currently a faculty member in the School of Computer Sciences at NISER, Bhubaneswar.
I completed my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the School of Technology and Computer Science at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research under the guidance of Ramprasad Saptharishi. I was supported by a Google Fellowship in my final year.
I then held post-doctoral positions at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (as a post-doctoral researcher hosted by Pavel Hrubesͮ), the Blavatnik School of Computer Science in Tel Aviv University (as a postdoctoral student hosted by Amir Shpilka) and the School of Computer Sciences at NISER, Bhubaneswar (as a visiting faculty member). This was followed by a short but very productive stint as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at IIT Madras.
My second year of postdoctoral research was supported by the Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship; during which I spent some time visiting TIFR, ICTS-TIFR, IISc and IIIT Hyderabad (while being affiliated to Tel Aviv University). I also spent some time in CMI just prior to joining IIT Madras, and visited there often throughout my stay in Chennai
In the distant past, I did B.Sc. (Hons. in Mathematics with Computer Science & Physics) from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata; and then M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Guwahati. My schooling was from La Martiniere for Girls, Kolkata.
My research interest lies in the field of Theoretical Computer Science. What I love doing the most is understanding the power of various models of computation. Here is a link to my resume. It was last updated in June, 2026.
ACM India is organising a week-long faculty development programme on quantum computing, titled "Quantum Circuits, Communication & Error Correction", from the 6th to the 12th of July at NISER Bhubaneswar. It is aimed at faculty and postdocs who want to build a solid foundation in the area and bring it back to their students.
