I am currently a PhD student at College of Computing, Georgia Tech. Prior to this, I obtained my Masters degree in 2010. I work with Prof. Guy Lebanon. I received my Bachelors degree from Madras Institute of Technology in 2008. As an undergrad, I worked on wireless communications and information theory. Yes, I select text while reading :)

Research

I am interested in all aspects of mathematical statistics (classical and modern) and statistical machine learning. Current research interests include developing and analyzing:
  • estimation procedures for high dimensional data
  • labeling complexity reduction methods (for classification, regression and structured prediction)
