I am an AI & ML Associate, Sr. at the Machine Learning Center of Excellence in JPMorgan Chase & Co. working on news analytics and other exciting applied NLP research projects.

I have an MS in Computer Science student from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst. While doing my master’s, I’ve had the opportunity to work in the Information Extraction and Synthesis Lab headed by Prof.Andrew McCallum. I’ve also collaborated with Taesung Lee and Hessel Tuinhof at IBM Research. I interned for one summer at the Machine Learning Center of Excellence headed by Dr Lidia Mangu at JP Morgan Chase & Co. where I now work full-time.

I am passionate about delivering NLP and LLM-based solutions that satisfy users’ requirements, ensuring they effectively address their needs and enhance their overall experience.

My research interests are primarily linked to Natural Language Understanding. I am interested in what NLU sytems can tell us about human behavior and in what human cognition can teach us about building better NLU models. I am also interested in ethical, and explainable NLP and applying it towards social good.

Previously, I was a software engineer at Microsoft working on Azure and obtained my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from Manipal Institute of Technology, India.

In my free time, I enjoy reading and board gaming.
