About me

I am a senior undergraduate majoring in Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and I’m interested in exploring all things statistics. I interned at the Decision lab on modelling behavioural data to analyze the effect of stress on dynamic decision making. I have worked with Prof. Dootika Vats on exact Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling using Bernoulli factories and I am currently working with her, and Prof. Sakshi Arya on kernel density estimation using importance sampling.

I am an avid reader, and I enjoy travel, sketching, swimming and watching women’s artistic gymnastics.
