I am a Project Associate working under Prof. P Vijay Kumar at IISc, Bengaluru. My research focus is Erasure Decoding of Quantum LDPC codes.
Prior to that, I completed my B.Tech (Hons.) and MS by Research (Dual Degree) in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT Hyderabad. I was working under
Prof. Prasad Krishnan at
SPCRC, IIIT Hyderabad. My research was primarily focused on
developing novel cache-aided communication schemes for distributed data storage systems and content-delivery
networks.
My research interests lie broadly in Coding Theory (both Classical and Quantum). I enjoy working on
problems that are algebraic, algorithmic, or combinatorial in nature.
Details about my research work are available here. I (plan to) write up about things that I learn in my blog.
June 2023: Defended my Master's Thesis, titled "Low Complexity Cache-Aided Communication Schemes for Distributed Data Storage and Distributed Computing". [Slides]
