About Me

In Fall 2024, I will be joining Providence College's Mathematics and Computer Science Department as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science.

I earned my PhD from the Computer Science department at North Carolina State University under the guidance of Prof. Christopher Healey and Prof. Do Young Eun. Prior to that, I earned my Masters in Computer Systems and Networks from Chalmers University of Technology. My undergraduate education was from University College of Engineering, Burla in the field of Computer Science and Engineering.

My research interests lie in the interface of Network Sciences, Machine Learning, and Visualization. I am particularly interested in applied work in the areas of epidemology, social network analysis, product competition within social networks, and recommendation systems.
