I am a Staff Program Manager + Researcher at Google where I drive strategic research engagements and investments for Gemini. These days, I'm interested in advanced reasoning, multimodal, and cognitive evals, intersection of systems + LLMs, and human-centered LLMs. I'm based in Mountain View, California. 

Previously, I was one of the founding members of Google DeepMind India and helped set-up a world-class research lab. My research has been recognized through awards at leading HCI conferences such as CHI and CSCW. 

I graduated with a Ph.D in Computer Science at City, University of London, advised by Alex Taylor (now at University of Edinburgh) and Anoop Sinha (Google). I hold a Masters in International Business from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade in Delhi and received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar. I interned at eBay prior to joining Google. 

Note on collaborations and mentorship: 

• I am happy to collaborate with Faculty  and PhD students working in similar areas. Let's talk! 

• I regularly mentor students , I have (limited) slots to mentor undergraduate students with strong motivation. Write to me with what you need help with.
