About Me

I am an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department at CMU, with courtesy/affiliate appointments in the Machine Learning department (MLD) and the Robotics Institute (RI). Before joining CMU in Fall 2017, I was a Research Staff Member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. I completed my Ph.D. from MIT EECS in 2016 and received my B.Tech and M. Tech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2010.

I am fortunate to advise an amazing group of students in the Optimization, Probability and Learning (OPAL) lab. Our research focuses on designing scalable algorithms for distributed machine learning and large-scale parallel computing. Check out some of our current research projects for more details. We are affiliated with the Parallel Data Lab (PDL), CyLab and the FLAME Center at Carnegie Mellon University.

Note to prospective students:

I apologize in advance for not being able to respond to inquiries about open research positions. If you would like to join our group, please apply to CMU ECE and write my name in the list of faculty that you are interested in working with. I will make sure to review your application.
