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

I have interned at Allen AI (Summer 2025, with Christopher Clark), Microsoft Research, Redmond (Summer 2024, with Jianwei Yang) and Picsart AI Research (Summer 2021-22, with Humphrey Shi).

My research trajectory so far can be broadly classified into three areas:

• I began my research career by developing models for dense pixel-level prediction tasks [OneFormer, SeMask].
• Building on this foundation, I worked on analyzing and improving the visual perception capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models [VisPer-LM, VCoder].
• Presently, my work focuses on developing agent systems for long-horizon tasks in real-world settings, leveraging reinforcement learning to have models learn effective multi-turn reasoning [SAGE, AUGUSTUS].

Reach out if you are interested in my research or would like to discuss any ideas. If you are a self-motivated researcher who's looking for guidance on one of your projects or just want to chat about my experience, will you drop me an email?
