About me:

I am a third-year PhD student at University of Washington Seattle where I am working with Prof. Jeffery A. Bilmes. I like to work on improving the efficiency of large-scale models, for both training and inference; with the help of submodular optimization. In summer'24 I am interning at NVIDIA - Applied Deep Learning Research Team. 

Before joining PhD program, I completed my undergraduate degree at IIT Delhi, where I worked with Dr Sumeet Agarwal.  I'm also an avid photographer (Checkout my Unsplash) and hiker! When not working, I can be found messing around with my camera, google earth, or hiking some beautiful mountains in North Cascades. (Most Recent Hike: Colchuck Lake).
