I am a researcher with the Integrated Systems Group at NEC Laboratories America, Inc., based in Princeton, NJ. I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville. My current work focuses on leveraging cutting-edge AI/ML techniques, particularly Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Large Language Models (LLMs)/Generative AI (GenAI), to address complex systems challenges.
Previously, my research interests spanned a range of topics, including High-Performance Computing (HPC), heterogeneous cluster computing, GPGPU computing, Xeon Phi computing, graph computing and analytics, as well as distributed stream processing systems for AI-powered video analytics.
I grew up in Pune, India, where I completed my schooling at St. Joseph's High School and St. Vincent’s Junior College, followed by my undergraduate studies at the College of Engineering, Pune (COEP). I have a diverse range of hobbies and interests, including listening to classic Hindi songs, singing, sketching, and engaging in various sports such as badminton, cricket, volleyball, bowling, pool, carrom, racquetball, table tennis, tennis, and swimming. I also enjoy traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and experiences.
