Bio

I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Data to Actionable Knowledge (DTaK) lab at Harvard University where I'm advised by Finale Doshi-Velez. My research interest lie in probabilistic machine learning and decision-focused modeling, and my methods are strongly motivated by applications in healthcare. These interests allow me take ideas from Optimization, Probabilistic Graphical Models, Reinforcement Learning and apply to important social problems. Before coming to Harvard, I got my M.S. in Computer Science from University of Massachusetts, Amherst and my B.Tech. in Engineering from IIT Madras.
