I am currently a PhD Student working on bias, fairness and evalution of language models in the NLP lab under Prof. Rebecca Jane Passonneau at Penn State. I spent 3 wonderful months during Summer 2023 at Kitware contributing to the In The Moment project funded by DARPA, as a NLP Research Scientist Intern. I focused on application of large language models in critical scenarios such as medical triage by improving their robustness and reliability.
Prior to starting my PhD, I did a Research Internship under Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Alan Yuille at John Hopkins University. During this time, I worked on robustness in vision and language models. I have also done a Research Assistantship at University of British Columbia under Professor Apurva Narayan. During this time, I worked on adversarial training in computer vision.
My academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Delhi, India. After completing my bachelors, I have gained 2 and a half years of industry experience in Applied AI at HyperVerge, an innovative Fintech and Geospatial startup in India. During this time I worked on various projects on face recognition, face deduplication, OCR, forgery detection and object detection.
My research interests include trustworthy machine learning, robustness, fairness, model evaluation and neuroscience.
