I received B.E. in Electronics and Communications from UVCE, Bangalore in the year 2001. I obtained M.S. (research) from EE dept. of IIT Madras, Chennai in 2009, where I worked on speech signal processing. I completed my Ph. D. in the year 2016 at ECE Dept. of IISc, Bangalore. From Aug. 2016 to Apr. 2017, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at SUTD, Singapore.

I worked for CMC Limited, Bangalore as an IT engineer from the early 2002 to 2005, where I was a certified HP-UX System Administrator, Novell Netware Mailing server Admin etc.. During 2005-2008, in conjunction with M.S., I worked as a project associate in a DST funded project at IITM, where we developed a syllable-based speech synthesizer for Indian Languages.

For my Ph. D., I worked on Data fusion based Physical-layer protocols for Cognitive Radio Applications.  

Currently, I work at Continental Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru.
