About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Humphrey Shi. I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering in 2023 at IIT Roorkee.

Presently, I am a part-time Research Intern at Microsoft Research where I am mentored by Dr. Jianwei Yang as part of the Deep Learning Group.

My current research interests revolve around developing multimodal systems. During my undergraduate years, I mainly worked on image segmentation and inpainting. Reach out if you are interested in my research or would like to discuss any ideas.

I am seeking internship opportunities starting in Spring 2025. If you have any openings, please reach out to me!

Since then, I have grown from a rookie researcher into a more mature beginner researcher with a better outlook on the bigger picture in research (thinking beyond publishing a paper) owing to my close collaboration with the SHI Labs in the last couple of years.

Summer Diaries: Intern Diary of an Undergrad DL Researcher

This summer, I worked as a remote research intern at SHI Lab @ University of Oregon (UO) and Picsart AI Research (PAIR). I joined the SHI Lab to work with Professor Humphrey Shi in November 2020 during my second year and continued my work there during the summers, and I joined PAIR during the summers (June 2021).
