I am a Predoctoral Fellow in the SPARKS Programme at the Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where I work with Prof. Sumit K. Mandal.
I am concurrently pursuing a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Quantum Technology track) at PES University (Class of 2026).
At IISc, I use tools from theoretical computer science to analyze and inform better quantum hardware design, particularly around qubit connectivity and circuit compilation.
Our work on coupling map design received the ACM SRC Bronze Medal at MICRO 2025 (Undergraduate category).
Quantum algorithms, Quantum learning theory, Quantum complexity theory, Analysis of Boolean functions, Property testing.
