I am an ML researcher with 6+ years of experience in working with machine learning models. Currently, I am completing my PhD in Learning with Functional Data via Operator-valued Kernel Methods, Deep Neural Network Models: Theory, Techniques and Algorithms under Prof. P. Balamurugan from IEOR, IIT Bombay. My primary research theme lies in developing efficient optimization methods and algorithms for machine learning problems. This involves investigating both the theoretical and practical aspects of optimization methodologies. I am also interested in looking into machine learning and deep learning applications in relatively less explored directions.
