I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Computer Science Department of University of Maryland, College Park. I am a member of CLIP lab and work with Prof. Rachel Rudinger. My research interests include long context understanding, preference-aligned text generation using RL rewards, and reasoning with a focus on evaluating LLMs for various capabilities by designing novel tasks, identifying social biases, and attributing the generated text for building trustworthy, and verifiable AI systems. Prior to UMD, I worked as a Research Associate at Adobe Research, Bangalore, India and I am fortunate to have been able to continue my collaboration with them on long document understanding and answer attribution during my Ph.D.
Currently, I am a research intern at Meta FAIR working with Maha Elbayad on analyzing text representations for large language modeling.I am on the industry job market, looking for full-time Research Scientist (or equivalent) roles. Please reach out if you feel I could be a good fit to your team.
