I am a Ph.D. student currently working as a research assistant in the Laboratory for Software Design where my work is in the field of modularity in machine learning. Prior to joining Iowa State University in Fall 2021, I graduated with my Bachelors in Technology in Computer Science and Engineering from AIACT&R, GGSIPU, New Delhi, India.
I am always open to having a conversation about new projects and opportunities in the machine learning research and engineering field. If you're interested in talking about potential research collaborations or internships or just have fun book recommendations, you can contact me here.
