About Me


I am a fifth year graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My research advisor is Dr. Alfred O. Hero III. I completed my undergraduate degree (B.Tech.) in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in May 2006.

Research


My primary research interests are in the area of Statistical Signal Processing, Machine Learning, High-dimensional Manifold Learning, Information Fusion, and Estimation and Detection theory.
