I am an undergraduate in Computer Science Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
with a deep interest in Artificial Intelligence and its applications. My work spans graph deep learning, spatio-temporal data analytics, data distillation,
and high-dimensional nearest neighbor search. Recently, I've been exploring LLMs and agentic frameworks.
I recently completed a Research Internship at Carnegie Mellon University working with Prof. Pradeep Ravikumar in the Machine Learning Department. My research focused on causal representation learning, neurosymbolic AI, and machine unlearning with provable guarantees. Previously, I was a Research Intern at the University of Copenhagen working with Dr. Panagiotis Karras in the Department of Computer Science, DIKU on developing high dimensional nearest neighbor search algorithms. I am also a Research Assistant at IIT Delhi with Dr. Sayan Ranu in the Data Science and Information Retrieval Lab (DSIRE), working on graph neural networks and data distillation. I have also worked with Dr. Tarak Karmakar in the Computational Chemistry, Materials & Biology (CCMB) lab at IIT Delhi on molecular solubility prediction using graph neural networks. I love reading random facts, listening to jazz music, and right now, I'm just trying to work my way through quizzes and academics. :3 I am always open to collaborations and discussions.
