Courant Instructor/Simons Fellow

Welcome to my homepage. I am a Courant Instructor/Simons Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (New York University).

I obtained my Ph.D. in Statistics in 2010 from UC Berkeley under the supervision of Sourav Chatterjee and Steve Evans. Before that, I did my undergraduate and masters study from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata with specialization in Mathematical Statistics and Probability.

Research Interests

First passage percolation, Stein's method, Concentration inequalities, Spin glasses, Random Graphs, Random Matrices, Large deviations.

Selected Papers

1. Central limit theorem for first-passage percolation time across thin cylinders. (with Sourav Chatterjee).
2. Applications of Stein's method for concentration inequalities. (with Sourav Chatterjee). To appear in the Annals of Probability.
3. On the power breakdown of the negative exponential disparity tests. (with Ayan Basu) Aust. N. Z. J. Stat., 49(4), 381--384, 2007.
