I am a second-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 am currently working as a Research Intern in the PRIOR team at AI2 with Christopher Clark.

In the past, I have interned at Microsoft Research, Redmond (Summer 2024, with Jianwei Yang) and Picsart AI Research (Summer 2021-22, with Humphrey Shi).

My current research interests revolve around developing multimodal systems. I am also interested in representation learning, efficiency, and various real-world applications of multimodal systems. My recent works are based on analyzing and improving the visual perception ability in Multimodal Large Language Models [OLA-VLM, VCoder], building upon my experience from working on developing models for dense prediction tasks [OneFormer, SeMask].

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, feel free to drop me an email with a brief description about your (manifested) research project.

I am seeking internship/collaboration opportunities starting in Fall 2025/Spring 2026. If you are working on multimodal reasoning, unified multimodal models or agent system, please reach out!
