I just started my third year of PhD Studies in Computer Science at UCSB. My research interests are in the areas of programming languages (design, analysis and implementation), secure information flow, graph theory.
I am currently working with Prof. Ben Hardekopf on secure information flow research.
I just finished a super fun summer research internship at Mozilla Research.

I am originally from a beautiful town called Sagara, in India. I did my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at RV College of Engineering, Bangalore (India). After that, I worked as a Software Engineer at National Instruments R&D, Bangalore. Here is one of the features I worked on while at National Instruments.

A lot of racket sports. I love playing tennis, table tennis (ping-pong), badminton, squash. I also love swimming, travelling, trekking, hiking, biking, running and sitting idly in the jacuzzi. I also blog quite a bit, here and here. Although, my blog update rate has significantly fallen down now.
I am also a Radio Jockey at a local community radio station in Santa Barbara, for the India Show at KCSB 91.9 FM. It also has a webcast for those not in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara has lovely weather, beautiful and friendly people, very less traffic, amazing beaches and a superb University that does some cutting edge research.
