I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at IIT-Bombay.

Broadly, my research falls in the area of random graphs and network science. I am interested in problems that involve a graph structure and complex interactions between the network elements. My research goal is to propose and analyze robust mathematical models that capture different physical phenomena observed on practical networks.
