I am a Research Intern at Microsoft Research, working on multimodal reasoning and post-training under the guidance of Dr. Vineeth N Balasubramanian. I will be joining the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University this Fall as a Master of Computational Data Science (MCDS) student. Previously, I worked as a Research Intern at UVA, advised by Dr. Chirag Agarwal, and at IIT Patna, advised by Dr. Sriparna Saha. I completed my B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering at VIT Chennai.
My research interests lie in Reinforcement Learning, Reasoning, Multimodal Learning, and Mechanistic Interpretability. Happy to connect and chat about research or new ideas in ML :)
For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to me via mail!
