About me

Welcome to my homepage!

I am an Assistant Professor of Instruction in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Northwestern University. Before joining Northwestern, I was a Data Scientist at Pandora Bio. I received my PhD in Mathematics from The Ohio State University in 2024 where I was advised by Prof. Matthew Kahle. I also got a minor in Computer Science and a master degree in Mathematics from the Ohio State University. Prior to that I completed my BS–MS in Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, in 2018, where my master’s thesis in analytic number theory was advised by Prof. Kaneenika Sinha.

My research spans combinatorics, graph theory, and machine learning. I’m also a passionate educator, recognized for inclusive teaching and mentorship. I’m deeply interested in using data science to improve education and student mental health.
