I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rice University, expecting to graduate in May 2010. My advisor is Richard Baraniuk, and I am part of the Digital Signal Processing group. My PhD projects have had a general theme of compressed sensing, genomics and biological data mining.

I also received a Master's degree in ECE at Rice in September 2006. My master's thesis used statistical signal processing methods to assess the limits of neural spike sorting, and my advisor was Don Johnson.

I received my Bachelor's degree at Caltech, where I studied Electrical Engineering and graduated in June 2003 (honors). As an undergrad I was senior class co-president and editor of the yearbook.

I was born and raised in Bahrain, a tiny archipelago in the middle east, but have Indian heritage.
