Hi! I am a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. My Google Scholar
My research focuses on Inference in Deep Generative Models, advised by Prof. Erik Sudderth. You can visit my google scholar profile here. I am interested in developing inference methods on top of deep generative models, which enables reasoning or infering capabilities for images and texts.
Before graduate school, I was a Budding Scientist at Conduent Labs (formerly known as Xerox Research Centre India). I received a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering (Instrumentation) with a minor in Computer Science Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 2017. During that period, I was also a visiting researcher at Duke University and an intern at TCS Innovation Labs.
When I’m not working, I like to spend my time cooking, dancing, playing tennis, learning about cultures and taking short trips outside the city!
