About Me:

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the HH Lab, Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Southern California, working with Prof. Hossein Hashemi. My research broadly encompasses the field of radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design, with a special focus on leveraging computational techniques and optimization algorithms to rapidly and autonomously synthesize beyond-human, nonintuitive RFICs with high performance and compact chip areas. In addition, I work on developing fundamentally novel analog and RF circuit design techniques and topologies to further improve circuit performance. 

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras in 2019, where I was jointly advised by Prof. S. Aniruddhan and Prof. Hossein Hashemi on mm-Wave N-path filters and mixers for my Bachelor's thesis. 

I firmly believe that necessity drives innovation, and that true breakthroughs arise from continually challenging well-established scientific beliefs and their underlying assumptions. Rethinking problems from a fundamentally different perspective and embracing lateral thinking unlocks novel solutions and groundbreaking approaches.
