About Me

I am a second-year PhD student at University of Massachusetts, Amherst working under Prof. Scott Niekum's supervision. My research interest lies in designing safe and efficient reinforcement learning (RL) agents.

Before joining UMass for my PhD, I worked at Adobe (India) in an applied machine learning (ML) research role (2020-2023). I contributed to solving problems in semantic analysis of PDF forms, explainability of reinforcement learning (RL) agents, image editing using language and video segmentation. Prior to that, I completed my B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2016-2020).

In my leisure time, I like to read, write, and explore. My goodreads reading list. Some random blogs. Some memorable places have been to -- Newport (Rhode Island), NYC and Manali (Himalayas).
