About me

I am a FARE postdoctoral fellow at IIT Kanpur. My research focuses on the quantitative study of information and randomness, measured using tools such as Kolmogorov complexity, and effective dimension.

Before my current position, I completed my PhD from CSE Department at IIT Kanpur , under the guidance of Satyadev Nandakumar and Sunil Simon. I obtained my B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from NIT Calicut in 2017.
