“Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein
I am a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying computational data science and advised by Dr. Zachary Lipton. My research goal is to make deep learning models safe, robust, and trustworthy to catalyze its adoption in critical application areas. I have been fortunate to be advised by excellent professors Dr. L.P. Morency and Dr. Bhiksha Raj.
In my previous life, I spent two years building large-scale search, recommendation, and forecasting systems at Morgan Stanley. I was also fortunate to gain extraordinarily fresh research perspectives through my internships in AI at three very unique industries – Locale.ai (location intelligence), Sigmaways (technology consulting), and S4S Technologies (food processing).
I completed my undergraduate degree in computer science and engineering from the Vellore Institute of Technology. I was fortunate to be mentored by Dr. Balakrushna Tripathy on my research. Beyond academics, I thoroughly enjoyed devising and implementing AI prototypes for problems in the domains of education technology, woman’s safety, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
