PhD Candidate @ University of British Columbia

About

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of British Columbia (UBC), where I’m working in the Dependable Systems Lab with Prof. Karthik Pattabiraman. My research interests lie in Secure and Reliable Systems, Machine Learning and Autonomous Systems. I received my master’s degree from UBC in 2020 and my undergrad degree from Vellore Institute of Technology, India in 2016.

Before joining UBC, I worked as a Research Engineer at IAIK, Graz University of Technology. In that role I contributed to CREDENTIAL EU Horizon 2020 Project. In the past I interned at Oracle Labs (2022), Institute of Infocomm Research, A*Star in Singapore (2016), Fraunhofer SIT in Germany (2015).
