About Me
I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Informatics, Università della Svizzera italiana, supervised by Prof. Déborah Sulem and Prof. Antonietta Mira.
I completed my Integrated M.Sc. in Mathematics from NIT Surat, India in 2024 where I graduated with a gold medal. I wrote my master's thesis on Uniformly Convex Regularisers in High-dimensional Optimisation, which I developed during an internship at the IOL Lab, Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB).
Previously, I worked as a research assistant at IIM Udaipur on stochastic inventory management and interned at the Institute for Mathematical Stochastics, TU Braunschweig, supported by a DAAD-WISE scholarship.
News
August 2026: 🏆 Received the Poster with Most Scientific Novelty award at the European Meeting of Statisticians 2026.
April 2026: 📄 Our paper MiniMax Learning of Interpretable Factored Stochastic Policies from Conjoint Data, with Uncertainty Quantification was accepted to ICML 2026.
Research
Research interests:
I am currently working on nearest neighbour based statistics or rank based statistics of association. In particular, I am interested in studying the asymptotic distribution of such coefficients.
Apart from this, I am also interested in statistical learning theory and generalization bounds for distribution shifts.
