I love running! I registered for my first official half-marathon, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon at Washington D.C. on March 18, 2023.

My current research spans Randomized Algorithms, Probabilistic Models and Fairness. My interests broadly focus in two directions :
(1) Algorithms for online stochastic matching models: Specifically, design and competitive analysis of algorithms under different online stochastic settings like KIID (Known IID distribution arrivals) and Random Order Arrivals.
(2) Algorithmic fairness in combinatorial optimization: Understanding the algorithmic challenges of incorporating "acceptable" and "meaningful" notions of fairness into stochastic and combinatorial optimization problems arising in ride-sharing, internet advertising, crowdsourcing markets, kidney-exchange markets, etc. Further, I am interested in understanding the merits and limitations of the fairness criteria in providing solutions to the underlying optimization problem.

Bouldering Competition
I competed in my first bouldering competition in Spring 2022 at Purdue Boulder Up! in Women’s Beginner division (V0-V3).
Inclusivity & Engagement
- I volunteered and co-designed (along with Arghya Sadhukhan) introductory material on group theory for high school girls at Girls Talk Math during the Summer of 2021.
- I co-organized CATS (Captial Area Theory Seminar) at University of Maryland, College Park with Nathaniel Grammel during Fall 2021 and Spring 2022.
