Brief Bio

I am currently pursuing PhD degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with advisors Sonia Martinez and Nikolay Atanasov. Prior to this, I received my Master's degree from Purdue University ( 1, 2 ) , and Bachelor's degree from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. Some of my work with undergraduate students and interns at MURO lab is mentioned here.

Research

I am currently working on provably correct distributed estimation in networked systems, and applications to sensor networks. More recently, I am testing variational inference approach towards distributed estimation for general applications.
