News:

I won the Governor of Assam Gold Medal at IIT Guwahati's 27th convocation and the prestigious Quad Fellowship for the academic year 2025-2026 (as one of the only 25 U.S.-based fellows out of ~2000 applicants)!

I am currently an incoming Machine Learning Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. In Spring 2025, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati with the Governor of Assam Gold Medal. My research interest lies in Deep Learning and Computer Vision, particularly cross-modal learning. I have also been exploring multimodal learning and efficient Machine Learning architectures for some time now. I spent my post-sophomore summer in Japan working at Iwahori Vision Lab. I also worked as an R&D intern at Samsung Research Institute in 2024. I am fortunate to work with Prof. Yuji Iwahori at Chubu University, Japan, Prof. Gaurav Trivedi, Dr. Manish Bhatt, and Prof. M.K. Bhuyan at IIT Guwahati, Prof. Sachin B. Patkar at IIT Bombay, and Dr. Farhad Merchant at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. I am humbled to receive the IndiaAI Fellowship 2024 and Institute Merit Scholarship (IIT Guwahati) '23-'24 and '24-'25.
