I’m a Research Scientist in GenAI at Meta, working on multimodal LLMs. I’m graduating with a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Washington, where I worked in the Mobile Intelligence Lab advised by Prof. Shyam Gollakota and Prof. Michael Taylor. I’m interested in Multimodal Language Modeling, Conversational AI and Human-Computer Interaction. I completed my Bachelor’s degree at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.
