I am a fourth-year PhD student at the Scalable Computing Systems (SaCS) Lab at EPFL advised by Prof. Anne-Marie Kermarrec. I completed my bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati. During my PhD, I have also spent time at Carneige Mellon University. My current research focuses on enhancing the system efficiency of distributed and decentralized machine learning.
