I am currently a postdoc at QuTech, TU Delft. Prior to this, I was a postdoc at EPFL IC. I received my PhD from the Technical University of Darmstadt in October 2021, following a master’s and bachelor’s degree from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. I am broadly interested in performance analysis of quantum and classical networks.

Here is a copy of my CV.
