I am a Doctoral student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Texas A&M University at College Station (TAMU). I am advised by Prof. Nitesh Saxena at SPIES research lab, and my research interest lies in the intersection of Deep Learning, Adversarial ML and AI/ML Security.

I received my Masters degree (Thesis) from Texas A&M University at Kingsville (TAMUK) in 2023. At TAMUK, I had the oppurtunity to work with Prof. Habib M. Ammari at WiSeMAN Research Lab, on the problem of reliable and fault-tolerant coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and with Prof. Taesic Kim at CPPES Lab, on the problems pertaining to Cybersecurity of Distributed Energy Resources and Smart Grid.

Prior to joining TAMUK, I was a software engineering professional with 5 years of experience from 2016 to 2021, with my last role being a Senior Software Engineer. I had the opportunity to work on various software projects involving diverse clientale across the globe, and handled responsibilities like developing software applications, leading teams of engineers/peers on projects, project planning with business teams, and deploying production-ready software.

Before that, I received my Bachelors degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Dhanbad in 2016. At IIT, I worked on the project of Computer-aided design and simulation of Automobile components subjected to various experimental conditions, under the supervision of Prof. L. A. Kumaraswamidhas.

Apart from researching, I am very fond of drawing pencil sketches, creating ambigrams, watching Anime/TV Series/Movies, and playing Video games.
