  • Ph.D. (2018) Chemical Engineering, MIT
  • M.S. (2014) Chemical Engineering Practice, MIT
  • B.Tech. (2012) Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras
  • Employment:
    • 2018-2020 Postdoctoral Research Associate, Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, UW-Madison

Research Interests:

  • Optimization under uncertainty
  • Integrated learning and optimization
  • Deterministic global optimization
  • Applications in energy and chemical process systems
