I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UIUC, where I work with Vikram S. Adve and Dilek Hakkani Tür. I also closely collaborate with Gokhan Tur and John F. Reid.
My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. I am particularly interested in conversational generative agents that can interact with both digital and physical world for real-world applications. I am part of the AIFARMS Institute, Center for Digital Agriculture and the ConvAI Lab at UIUC
Before starting my PhD, I was on a year-long research internship at Brunswick Corporation's I-Jet Lab, where I worked on marine autonomous vehicles. I completed my master's degree in Computer Science from UIUC, during which I worked with Allen H. Renear on knowledge representation techniques in scientific datasets and semantic reasoning
Not so long ago, I also completed my MS in Civil & Environmental Engineering from UIUC after earning my undergraduate (B.Tech) at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, in Civil Engineering.
