I am a research scientist and manager at Department of Computer Science, National University of Singapore (NUS). Previously, I was postdoctoral research fellow at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Singapore University of Technology and Design. I have obtained my PhD from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. During my PhD, I was working under the guidance of Prof. Animesh Mukherjee and Prof. Bibhas Adhikari (currently at Fujitsu Research, US). My research interests include LLM alignment, responsible AI, LLM safety and reasoning, multimodality & multilinguality, NLP, ML and complex networks. I was a member of Complex Network Research Group (CNeRG).
