I’m a second year PhD student in mathematics. I’m broadly interested in algebraic geometry and machine learning. Some questions I’m currently pondering include how machine learning can be used as a tool to aid mathematicians, how algebraic varieties can be used to approximate data, and what connections can we find between algebraic geometry and machine learning. I’m affiliated with the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery.

I was born in Kolkata, India - a city rich in history and culture with bustling streets and great food - and lived there until I moved to the calmer lands of Illinois, where I got my BSc in Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I also spent a semester at the Independent University of Moscow as a part of the Math in Moscow study abroad program.
