I work on training models for enterprise search relevance in the Frontier Tuning Team at Microsoft, Redmond.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University, where I specialized in machine learning and was advised by Prof. Smaranda Muresan. I previously earned a B.Tech. with Honors from IIT Madras, with a minor in computer science, and was advised by Prof. Balaraman Ravindran. During my undergraduate studies, I also spent an Erasmus+ exchange semester at the Technical University of Denmark.

During my studies, I worked on a broad range of machine learning problems, with publications at ICML, NAACL, IROS, UbiComp, and ECCV-W, as well as in Science. I also organized a shared task at FigLang@NAACL.
