I am a Ph.D. candidate 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 a High Performance AI Intern at NVIDIA (with Humphrey Shi), working on training agents for CUDA Kernel Optimization. I have also interned at Allen AI (Summer 2025, with Christopher Clark), and Microsoft Research, Redmond (Summer 2024, with Jianwei Yang).
My research trajectory so far can be broadly classified into three areas:
I'm seeking industry research roles starting in February 2027. My work focuses on agentic AI, multimodal reasoning, and RL infrastructure. If your team is hiring, I'd love to connect!
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?
We find ourselves living in an age where we get a new frontier model almost every few months, if not weeks. Whenever a new generation of model comes out from the closed-source or open-source giants, we instinctively switch to the most “advanced” model whenever possible so we can make sure we have access to the best worker (or so claimed) available for our goal.
So, I started my PhD in CS at Georgia Tech in Fall 2023. It’s only been around 16 months, but it feels more like several years in deep learning research trends.
In case you missed it, I shared my experience as a rookie undergrad researcher in a previous blog: Riding the Noisy Research Track. 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.
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).
