Senior at IIT Delhi, doing a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering with an M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering under Advanced Standing. Currently researching sparse neural networks, with competitive programming, reinforcement learning and chess on the side.
About
I'm a senior at IIT Delhi, deeply interested in computer science and mathematics. I'm on a dual degree, doing a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering alongside an M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, which I was admitted to under Advanced Standing in 2026.
I'm currently researching sparse neural networks under Prof. Amber Srivastava, looking at how structured sparsity can make models smaller and more efficient without giving up performance.
I'm actively into competitive programming and part of ANCC, the Algorithms and Coding Club at IIT Delhi. I also enjoy tinkering with reinforcement learning. Outside of code, I play chess and like exploring new places.
