I am a final-year undergraduate student at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H), with a strong academic and research background in information and coding theory. Over the course of my undergraduate studies, I have actively sought out and completed several research internships under the guidance of faculty at leading institutions including IIIT Hyderabad, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Pittsburgh. These experiences have significantly shaped my academic perspective and deepened my interest in fundamental problems in information and coding theory. My current research interests include problems around synchronization errors and problems in algebraic coding theory. I am also highly interested in the applications of coding and information theory in distributed data storage systems and DNA data storage systems.
