Title: 
A Personal Journey from Algorithms and Complexity to Theory of Machine Learning

Abstract:
In this talk, I will present highlights from my research journey through theoretical computer science, starting in algorithms and data structures, moving into lower bounds and complexity, then including a bit of cryptography and finally to my most recent adventure into theory of machine learning. Along the way, we will see that there are many exciting connections between these traditionally disjoint areas and unveiling these connections has been a common thread in my work. The talk will conclude with an outlook to the future and where I see my path heading from here.
