Introduction
I am a doctoral candidate in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Arizona State University, USA. I was born and raised in Hyderabad, the capital of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh in India. I completed my undergraduate education in Computer Science and Engineering in India before moving to Arizona State University for my Masters in Computational Biosciences. After completing my masters, I enrolled in the doctoral program in the CSE department at ASU where I could continue to pursue my research centered around computing solutions for challenging applications in the biological and healthcare domains.
