Home

Hey! I’m currently looking for postdocs, and finishing up as a PhD student at the University of Vienna, advised by Monika Henzinger and Gramoz Goranci. I work on dynamic graph algorithms, differential privacy, and computational social choice. I completed my Masters in Computer Science and Bachelors in Maths+CS at Chennai Mathematical Institute. Great place, you really should go there some time.

Academic interests

I am broadly interested in the intersection of mathematics and computer science. There are a few books nominally unrelated to my work that I’d like to read but haven’t had a chance to yet, so let me know if you’re interested in teaming up to read any of these:

Books

I, like others who grew up without siblings and decided to make “I read books” a personality trait, have a Goodreads account. I’m always looking for new recommendations, and if you’d like some fiction suggestions,

Linux

I currently have an Arch Linux installation on my laptop, with these dotfiles. Some things of interest to you might be my:

  • vimrc - with comments.

  • zinc - a custom file syncer using rsync. I use my university-provided computer space as cloud space for my academic PDFs, and use zinc to keep them synced between my laptop, phone, iPad and the univie server.

  • I also have some tex snippets from this amazing blog post adapted to my use case. Also check out this tutorial series for a detailed view of using (neo)vim for LaTeX.

Dota

I, uhh, have played a few hours of dota2 in my life. There are various things I would like to say about it, but I shall do so one day in the future.

Music

Songs/albums that I’ve been listening to on repeat recently. I’ll definitely keep this section updated, I swear (Sep 2025).
