About Me

Hi! I am a MS graduate from IIIT Hyderabad. During my Master’s, I was supervised by Dr. P. J. Narayanan and co-advised by Dr. Adrien Gruson and Dr. Luis Gamboa. My research revolves around light transport theory and material appearance modeling. Specifically, I am interested in combining stochastic and analytic methods to improve rendering algorithms. Check out my publications to get to know more about my research.

I am currently interning at the GraphDeco group under Dr. George Drettakis at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis. I have previously worked as an intern at IBM Research and Metabrainz Foundation (GSoC 2020). Apart from my research interests, I love building well-designed, well-written, and helpful software systems. Take a look a the projects page to find projects I’ve worked on.
