Profile
I hold a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-Delhi). During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to intern at American Express, gaining valuable insights into the industry.

After completing my bachelor's degree, I ventured into the dynamic field of global fintech, where I spent two enriching years contributing to cutting-edge projects. This experience fueled my passion for technology and its real-world applications.

Driven by the desire to deepen my knowledge in Computer Science and explore research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), I embarked on a journey to pursue a master's degree. I received admissions from several renowned institutions, including UCSD, Duke, University of Washington, University of Chicago, and NYU Courant. Eventually, I chose Texas A&M University (TAMU) for its exceptional academic environment, cost-effectiveness, and the incredible research opportunities it offered.

Currently, I am engaged in impactful research as a member of the DIVE lab, working under the guidance of Dr. Shuiwang Ji. This experience allows me to delve into the fascinating realm of machine learning and contribute to advancements in the field.
