I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, India. I joined IISc as an Assistant Professor in 2017. Before joining IISc, I was a postdoc at UC San Diego. I obtained my PhD at the University of Maryland, College Park.

My research interests include networked control systems, event-triggered control, distributed systems and control, multi-agent systems. Some of the applications I am interested in are cyber physical systems, networked transportation systems and dynamics of socio-technical systems.
