PFFIE postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Statistics at University of Missouri, Columbia.I am originally from Mumbai, India where I received both my BSc and MSc degree in Statistics from University of Mumbai. I went on for a PhD in Statistics from North Carolina State University advised by Prof Ryan Martin. I have had the opportunites to teach, mentor and consult in the university. A brief stint in the pharmaceutical industry gave me the chance to apply my knowledge.

Research
I wrote my PhD dissertation on non parametric estimation of a mixing distribution under a general mixture model (thesis link). This has exposed me to problems in multiple areas like directional data, spatial statistics, small area estimation and large scale multiple testing.Recently I have started working on anytime inference based on e-values and spatio-temporal data. My interests are hence spread over methodological work in non parametric Bayesian philosophy and spatio-temporal data.Please refer to my CV for recent publications.
