I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay, advised by Prof. Mythili Vutukuru and Prof. Purushottam Kulkarni. As a member of SynerG (Systems and Networking Research Group), my research focuses on networked systems. Currently, I am working on enabling high-performance packet processing on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. Prior to joining IIT Bombay, I completed my B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from CIT Kokrajhar in 2022, where I was a member of the Human-Computer Interaction group.
