I am a PhD student at MIT EECS in Professor Tess Smidt's group, the Atomic Architects. I am broadly interested in the applications of machine learning to the computational sciences. I am funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Previously, I was a Pre-Doctoral Researcher at Google Research India, working with Prateek Jain and Gaurav Aggarwal on privacy-preserving graph neural networks.

I was a Caltech SURF Award recipient in 2019 and won the ACM SIGBED Scholars Award in 2020. At the time, I was an intern with the MLIA group at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where I worked with Kiri Wagstaff and Gary Doran on time-series algorithms to improve the responsiveness of the Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding on the upcoming Europa Clipper mission.

I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (with a minor in Mathematics) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati in 2020.

I've also spent time as a volunteer at Youth4Jobs Shine where I mentored differently-abled youth on career planning and seeking employment, at English On Call where I taught English to non-native speakers, and at the MIT EECS GAAP program for helping underrepresented applicants with graduate school admissions.
