Biography

I am a third year PhD student at the Language Technologies Institute in Carnegie Mellon University. I am advised by Prof. Yulia Tsvetkov. I was fortunate enough to also be advised by the late Prof. Jaime Carbonell during my initial years of PhD. I completed my masters at LTI in 2019, advised by Prof. William Cohen.

I am currently interning at AI2 with Dr Matthew Peters and Dr Pradeep Dasigi.

I’ve previously spent two amazing summers as a Research Intern with Google. I was hosted by Niki Parmar and Dr Ashish Vaswani at Google Brain in 2020 and by Dr William Cohen and Dr Michael Collins at Google AI in 2019.

I work on building trustworthy and reliable NLP systems through interpretable model designs and comprehensive evaluations. I have worked on incorporating structure and interpretability in various downstream NLP tasks (classification, summarization, dialog systems).

Previously, I completed my bachelors from PESIT, Bangalore and worked at Flipkart, India for 2 years.
