About
I am currently a scientist in the Institute of Computation at Altos Labs. Before moving to the Bay Area, I had a short stint at MathWorks as a senior application engineer in the computational biology group.
I am mostly interested in the intersection of biology, computation, modeling (statistical and first-principle), and artificial intelligence. Before pivoting to industry, I obtained a PhD at the University of California San Diego under the supervision of Prof. David Saintillan in computational biophysics to understand how our genome organizes inside the nucleus of a cell.
Prior to UCSD, I obtained an M.S.(Engg.) degree from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (Bangalore, India) under the supervision of Prof. Meheboob Alam and a B.Tech. degree in Chemical Engineering from National Institute of Technology Karnataka Surathkal.
