I am a final year PhD student at the Department of Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering (ECSE), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), advised by Prof. Ali Tajer.

My research interests are centered on causal inference from interventions. During my PhD, I have focused on leveraging the shared causal mechanisms and the role of interventions across different data environments. Specifically, I have been developing methodology for causal representation learning, sequential intervention design, and causal structure learning.

I have been selected a 2020 IBM AI Horizons Scholar as part of RPI-IBM AIRC program and worked closely with a number of collaborators, including Dr. Karthikeyan Shanmugam and Dr. Prasanna Sattigeri.
