About me
I am a Master of Science in Machine Learning student at Carnegie Mellon University (expected graduation: December 2025). I am interested in topics like Graph Representation Learning, Natural Language Processing, Foundation Models and applications to diverse domains like User Recommendations, Code Generation and Quantum Computing. Prior to my current studies, I spent two impactful years as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research, India, where I was forunate to be advised by Arun Iyer, Aditya Kanade and Sundararajan Sellamanickam. During this time, I developed novel methods for graph representation learning and natural language-to-code generation. I received the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science Degree, along with a Minor in Physics from BITS Pilani in 2021.
