About me

Since December 2024, I’ve been working as a Systems Engineer in the AI Solutions Group at Texas Instruments' Dallas office.

I completed my PhD at the University of Texas at Austin, where I worked with Prof. Jon Tamir on developing generative machine learning and deep learning techniques to improve medical imaging—particularly MRI—and tackle inverse problems more efficiently.

Earlier in my PhD, I worked with Prof. Robert W. Heath Jr. on low-resolution DACs for wireless communication. I hold a B.Tech and M.S. from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, where I worked on wireless energy transfer and UAV-based communication under the guidance of Prof. Swades De at the CNRG lab.
