Welcome

I am a Ph.D. scholar, and a recepient of the Intel Ph.D. fellowship at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras. I am being advised by Prof. Balaraman Ravindran and Prof. Manikandan Narayanan. I am also associated to the Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. My work involves modelling complex systems as hypergraphs and multiplex networks, and learning from such networks. Recently, I have worked on the problems of hypergraph clustering, hyperedge prediction and centrality for multilayer networks.
