I am a graduate student pursuing my PhD in computer science at Purdue University, West Lafayette. I am advised by Z. Berkay Celik and Dongyan Xu. Before that, I obtained my master of science in computer science degree also at Purdue and an integrated master of technology degree in computer science at the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore.
