I am a forth year graduate student in the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley . My advisors are Steven N. Evans and Elchanan Mossel.

Before coming to Berkeley, I did my Bachelors (B. Stat.) and Masters (M. Stat.) with a specialization in Mathematical Statistics and Probability from Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta.

Research Interests: Random matrices, Coalescing particle system, Probability on combinatorial structures, Discrete Fourier analysis and Influences.
