I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Aghaeepour Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine. I earned my Ph.D. in Computational Biology from IIIT Delhi, India, and during my doctoral training, I also worked as a Visiting Graduate Researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I hold a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics from Panjab University, India, and a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from the University of Delhi, India.

My research has focused on developing machine-learning–based computational tools for identifying disease biomarkers in biofluids. Currently, my work centers on applying advanced computational and multi-omics approaches to translational ophthalmology research.

Outside of work, I enjoy painting, dance fitness, and capturing nature through photography. I’m a tea enthusiast who enjoys trying blends from around the world. Lately, I’ve also gotten into skiing and badminton.
