I am a grad researcher at the University of California at Riverside (advised by Prof. Amit Roy Chowdhury). I previously worked as a Research Assistant (advised by Prof. Vineeth N Balasubramanian's) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH). My fields of research broadly include Transfer Learning, Causality, ExplainableAI, and Learning under Limited Supervision.

Before that, I was associated with Mercedes Benz Research and Development, Bangalore, India where I worked on improving Lane Marking Detection in extreme weather conditions. I was advised by Dr. Deepak Kumar Panda and his team.

I completed my undergrad degree from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, where I was affiliated with IvLabs, VNIT Nagpur (a student-run AI and Robotics club) supervised by Prof. Shital Chiddarwar.

My current interests broadly include the development of LLMs/VLMs and the deployment of Agentic AI solutions for real-world problems. I am currently on the job market. Please reach out if you are hiring for Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, or Applied Scientists.
