• Created and installed an automated question paper selection tool for National Testing Agency (NTA) Director. Applied state of the art text and image Deep Learning techniques - RNNs and CNNs - via transfer learning. Used for selecting JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, NEET question papers of similar difficulty.

May 2018 – Mar 2019 · 10 mos

• Built a B2B product for automated detection of the taxonomy for an academic question. Used tf-idf and xgboost to find the subject, chapter, topic, concepts of a question. Demonstrated better performance than Academic Faculty.

• Doctoral student in the Chair for Efficient Algorithms at the Technical University of Munich, supervised by Prof. Harald Räcke. (thesis to be submitted)
• Research:
• I designed approximation algorithms for constructing graph sparsifiers - a simple graph, e.g. a tree, that approximates the cut and flow structure (in the context of multicommodity demand flows) of a given graph upto polylogarithmic factors.
• I worked on designing faster algorithms for solving max flow in directed graphs, and in general for linear programming.
• Main TA for:
• Efficient Algorithms and Data Structures - I (B.Tech./M.Tech.)
• (160-230 students. I designed and evaluated assignments and exams, co-ordinated other tutors, took tutorials)
• Efficient Algorithms and Data Strucutres - II (B.Tech./M.Tech.)
• (Approximation Algorithms and Linear Programming)
