Principal Researcher

About

I am a principal researcher in the Algorithms group at Microsoft Research Redmond. I graduated with a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science from Princeton University in 2018. I completed my undergraduate studies at IIT Bombay with a major in computer science and a minor in mathematics.

I am currently working on quantization of neural networks to reduce inference costs and on improving reasoning abilities of LLMs. Previously at Microsoft, I have worked on designing erasure codes for distributed storage and on differential privacy for generating synthetic data imitating private data and for training deep learning models on private data.
