Bio

I am a tenure-track (assistant) professor at Purdue University. My research lies at the intersection of systems and theory, with a current focus on programmable photonic interconnects, scale-up GPU networks, and learning-augmented network algorithms.

Prior to joining Purdue in fall 2025, I completed my PhD at TU Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Schmid. I obtained MSc in Computer Science (Specialization in Networks) at Sorbonne University in Paris, France in 2020. I did my Master’s thesis at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Laurent Vanbever. From 2017 to 2019, I worked as a research engineer at Telecom Paris under the supervision of Prof. Dario Rossi and Prof. Luigi Iannone. I completed Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) studies in 2017 at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Goa Campus, India.

Research Interests: I am broadly interested in network topologies; congestion control and network flow problems; online algorithms and competitive analysis; buffer requirements and management; and related areas. My interests are mainly at the intersection of networking theory and systems.
