Research

My research interests are broadly in the areas of compilers, program analysis, software verification and automata theory. I'm currently a PhD student with Dr. Uday Reddy. I am working on providing automated compiler technologies for high performance computing in multicore and manycore architectures, using the polyhedral framework.

My master's thesis work with Dr. K V Raghavan was on model-checking in counter automata. In this work, we provide a framework for model-checking CTL properties in a class of Presburger counter systems. The key novelty in this work was the use of existing reachability analysis tools as black-boxes.

Education

I completed my MSc (Engg) from the department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India in January 2014. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree from Sri Jayachamarajendra college of Engineering, Mysore in the year 2010.

Co-curricular Activities

I enjoy playing tennis. Cycling and trekking occasionally. I do play chess and have represented the college team for three consecutive years during my B.E.
