More about me: Literary works | Fun/Favorites

I am a second year M.Sc. (Thesis) student at McGill University and Mila under the supervision of Prof. Siamak Ravanbakhsh. My research interests span geometric deep learning, generative models, and computer vision.

Previously, I was a Research Intern at PROSE at Microsoft, working on designing algorithms and evaluation set-ups for email classification in real-world (online) settings. I was fortunate to work on topological data analysis at Adobe Research, India and on explainability in pre-trained language models at INK-Lab, University of Southern California under Prof. Xiang Ren.

I earned my B. Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I was part of the CVIR Lab under the supervision of Prof. Abir Das and Dr. Rameswar Panda where I worked on contextual bias and multimodal learning problems.
