About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in ECE at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am advised by Professor Romit Roy Choudhury in the Signals and Inference Research Group (SiNRG).

I work on problems in 1) Deep Generative Models, and 2) Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. I am currently interested in using diffusion models as priors in inverse problems.

Before this, I was an Audio DSP Engineer at HARMAN where I developed a number of algorithms for car audio applications. Prior to that, I earned my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in musical acoustics and signal processing from the University of Rochester. I obtained my B.Tech degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from SRM University, India.

When I am not working on research, I spend most of my time playing classical piano and guitar. I have studied at the Eastman School of Music, Community Center and K.M. Music Conservatory, India.
