I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at North Carolina State University in August 2023 under the guidance of Prof. Arnav Jhala. My focus lies in Visual Narrative Comprehension and Generation, delving into the merging realms of Multimedia, Multimodal Understanding (Visual & Language), Machine Learning, and Generative AI.

I am currently seeking job opportunities aligned with my research pursuits.
