I was a student researcher at Google with Rina Panigrahy working on understanding and improving reasoning capabilities of language models during June 2023-March 2024. Before joining Ph.D., I was a research fellow at Microsoft Research India, where I worked with Amit Deshpande and Navin Goyal. I graduated with my B.Tech. (Hons.) in Computer Science from IIIT-Hyderabad, where I worked with Naresh Manwani.
I am graduating in 2026 and looking for full-time research positions in industry. Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit!
