Welcome

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. I am interested in Topological Data Analysis (TDA), Graph Neural Networks, Category Theory (Sheaves, in particular) and Topological Deep Learning. I am currently working on capturing essential topological signatures in spatio-temporal point cloud data and spatio-temporal graph data. At Purdue, I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tamal Dey. I spent a semester at The Ohio State University before I transferred to Purdue in August 2021.

I received my BS-MS Dual Degree with a major in Mathematics (Gold Medalist) from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal in 2020. I have been an intern at Technische Universität Dresden as a DAAD WISE Scholar and at Institut de recherche mathématique avancée as a Charpak Scholar. In the industry, I have interned at Ethereum Foundation and Adobe. I spent the summer of 2023 at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab as a research intern.

Please find my CV and resume.

I have interests outside academia. I play Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash and Badminton. I have practised Taekwondo for 8 years and have a blackbelt. I am interested in Indian Classical Music. I play Tabla, which is an Indian percussion instrument.

My Erdős number is 3. Paul Erdős -> János Pach -> Tamal Dey -> Shreyas Samaga.

Service - I review for ICLR, NeurIPS, AISTATS and LoG.
