I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA where I was working at the intersection of Machine Learning, Game Theory and Networked systems under the guidance of Prof. Satish V. Ukkusuri of Lyles School of Civil Engineering and Prof. Vaneet Aggarwal of School of Industrial Engineering. My works were primarily on the theoretical aspects of reinforcement learning (i.e., finding optimal regret, sample complexity, etc.) and their application in transportation networks, social networks and disaster recovery systems. This fruitful collaboration resulted in a lot of publications in prestigious venues such as IEEE Transactions, JMLR, AAAI, AISTATS, etc. One of our works was awarded the best paper award at the Cooperative AI workshop at NeurIPS 2021.

After graduating from college, I worked for a few months as a quantitative researcher at WorldQuant LLC where, as a part of the algorithmic trading team, my responsibility was to develop algorithms, also called Alphas, that can be used to build profitable trading strategies in stock markets. This brief exposure to the trading industry helped me realise that my true calling is in research and academia.
