I am an incoming Ph.D. Student at the Silverman Lab in College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University, advised by Dr. Justin Silverman. I am interested in building robust and explainable deep learning models using bayesian non-parameteric and semi-parameterics.

Previously, I was a software engineer at Tummee.com from 2021-22 and as a Machine Learning Engineer at Trinity College Dublin under Dr. Ciaran Simms, Dr. Aljosa Smolic and Dr. Richard Blythman.

Prior to pursuing my Ph.D., I earned my master’s in Informatics (Data Science) at Pennsylvania State University and bachelor’s in software engineering from Delhi Technological University (erstwhile Delhi College of Engineering) in India.

My CV can be found here.
