I am a PhD candidate at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Ram Rajagopal in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.

I am broadly interested in leveraging machine learning for power grid research, specifically focusing on spatial mapping of grid assets, equity in resource distribution, and grid optimization.

Before joining Stanford, I earned my Bachelor of Technology in Computer Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, and later completed my Master of Science in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. I also undertook my Masters thesis as an exchange student at ETH Zurich under the SEMP scholarship, working under Prof. Konrad Schindler and Prof. Laura Leal-Taixé. MS thesis is available here.
