I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University under the supervision of Prof. Pankaj Agarwal. I completed my B. Tech (Hons) (Computer Science) from IIIT, Hyderabad in 2006. My research interests lie in the area of theoretical computer science. My current research focus is on designing data structures and algorithms for problems in computational geometry.
