About Me
Education
Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata | India
PhD in Statistics | Aug 2021 - June 2025
During my PhD, I was fortunate to work with Ayanendranath Basu and Abhik Ghosh. My doctoral thesis is about developing fast and scalable algorithms for robust SVD and robust PCA using the minimum density power divergence.
If you are interested in applying these methods, see this R package or this Python package.
If you are more into maths, may be take a look at my PhD thesis here.

Hobbies
Pre-Stable Diffusion Era
One of my hobby was to build various 3D art forms using softwares like Bryce 3D, Daz Studio, Blender, etc. It was really fascinating to me to see how mathematical ideas (e.g. coordinate geometries) are applied in the 3D modelling world. Here’s a beginner friendly tutorial on this topic.
Here’s a few outputs that came out of this activities.
