Hi! I am currently a Pre-Doctoral Researcher at Google Research, advised by Dr. Partha Talukdar. My primary research interests lie in leveraging multimodality for improving Large Language Models. At Google, I am exploring ways to tackle text-data sparsity for extremely low-resource languages using speech modality. I am also fortunate to closely collaborate with Dr. Sriram Ganapathy and Dr. Shikhar Vashishth at Google.

Prior to my tenure at Google, I pursued my Master’s (Research) at the Indian Institue of Science. During my academic journey I worked on semantic parsing and source code modeling, advised by Dr. Shirish Shevade. Then, I spent some time working on source code understanding models with Dr. Aditya Kanade and Dr. Shevade. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering from BITS. Before pivoting to machine learning, I also spent a summer exploring asynchronous systems with Dr. Akash Lal at Microsoft Research.

Besides my academic pursuits, I find joy in playing snooker and freestyle football (soccer).

For more information please refer to my CV and publications. I am always up for new collaborations! Feel free to reach out via email if you’d like to connect. :)
