🧬 Statistical Genomics | 🔬 Computational Biology | 🎓 PhD Applicant
I work at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and molecular biology — focused on regulatory network inference, and the identifiability and robustness of computational biology pipelines. My background spans wet-lab molecular biology and structural biology through to dry-lab transcriptomics and pan-cancer genomics analysis.
I hold a dual degree (B.Tech/M.Tech) in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, and I'm currently applying to PhD programs working at this statistics–genomics intersection.
