About Me

In July 2026, I will be joining the Koita Centre for Digital Health at IIT Bombay as an Assistant Professor. My research group will focus on leveraging statistical genetics and developing integrative genomic approaches to assess human disease risk, with the broader goal of advancing precision genomic medicine in India.

​

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Integrative Genomics, Georgia Institute of Technology. Before this, I completed my PhD in Bioinformatics (Statistical Genetics) under the mentorship of Dr. Greg Gibson at Georgia Tech from 2019 to 2022, and continued as a Postdoc in his lab from 2022 to 2026. 

​

Over the past nine years in the US, my research has focused on developing polygenic models and integrative genomics approaches to assess human disease risk, leveraging large-scale biobank datasets to inform precision medicine. These projects involve collaborations with researchers and clinicians across US and international institutes, and include contributions to large-scale initiatives such as the IBD Genetics Consortium and eQTLGen Consortium.

​

Outside of research, I cherish spending time with my family - going on long walks with my partner, organizing my home, exploring activities with my child and listening to instrumental piano music. I also love sports - I have been a National level Quad-Speed Skating player in the past, and enjoy table tennis and swimming as well.​​
