Background
- Research interests include designing secure and trustworthy distributed systems for analyzing data and training machine learning models in decentralized frameworks. Current research interests revolve around decentralized learning, federated learning, and trustworthy distributed systems, with a particular emphasis on aspects of privacy, fairness, and personalization.
Miscellany
- Spends most of the time studying, talking, and doing mathematics; otherwise, typically immersed in techno music, chess, cricket, philosophy, puzzles, or stand-up comedy. Recently rekindled love for non-academic reading and has become a collector of seemingly useless facts from all corners of life. Trying to learn French with limited success so far.
