Bio

I am a first-year Computer Science PhD student in the Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I work at LASS lab with Prof. Prashant Shenoy . Currently, I am working on secure sharing of services and resources among devices in a dynamic IoT environment. This reasearch involves topics such as distributed systems, multi-tenancy, privacy and sensing.

Prior to this, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, with Btech in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Computer Science. I have worked on applied machine learning for sustainability tasks such as Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) .

My research interests lie broadly in the areas such as Distributed Systems, IoT and Machine Learning.
