toggle navigation about research projects writing graduate student researcher - ph.d. candidate - electrical engineer -- about i graduated with a ph.d. from uc san diego working with prof. paul h. siegel as my ph.d. thesis advisor in december 2016. my ph.d. research areas were error characterization, channel modeling and applications of modern coding techniques such as ldpc and polar codes for nand flash memories. currently, i am a research scientist at netradyne working in the fields of deep learning and computer vision. previously, i received my b.tech degree in electronics and communication engineering from the national institute of technology karnataka (nitk), surathkal in 2009 and an m.s. degree from uc san diego in 2013. i have also worked as a full-time software engineer at national instruments, india and interned at microsoft research and intel corporation. in my free time, i enjoy creating cover songs using my violin and keyboard. i also maintain an interest in the areas of data science, machine learning, web design and development. even though many of these are still under development, i thought it would be nice to let people use them, collaorate and suggest improvements. you can make suggestions by opening github issues. feel free to make pull requests as well!!
