My passion is to connect research and practice with a two-way bridge: real-world challenges fueling scientific progress; the scientific breakthroughs then powering tech innovations to solve those challenges.

At Turing Research, I am building a first-of-its-kind Mobility Orchestration System - the tech that transforms a fleet of (autonomous or human-driven) vehicles into a seamlessly connected multimodal system of smart on-demand mobility.

Bio: Prior to Turing Research, I have been at Lyft Labs (high-risk, high reward radical bets in dispatch and matching tech and fleet optimization), Twitter (content relevance, advertisement targeting, user identity bridging and spatio-temporal user modeling) and IBM Research (biomedical information extraction and disambiguation for drug discovery).

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Algorithms and Complexity group at Max Planck Institute for Informatics and in the College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and my undergraduate degree (B.Tech.) in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kanpur.
