Introduction
I am a researcher in artificial intelligence presently serving as a DeepMind Academic Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. In my previous role, I was a Prime Minister Research Fellow (Direct PhD student) at the Indian Institute of Science. Successfully defending my PhD thesis, titled `\textit{Exploring Welfare Maximization and Fairness in Participatory Budgeting}', I delved into the challenges of preference aggregation for budget allocation and proposed various algorithms and axioms in that context.
My expertise lies at the intersection of computer science and economics. Specifically, my research focuses on computational social choice, game theory, and algorithm design. I am also deeply intrigued by the potential applications of deep learning within game theoretic frameworks.
