I am a fourth year Ph.D. Student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park where I am advised by Professor Rachel Rudinger.
I am a member of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) Lab in UMIACS.
My research interests broadly lie in the areas of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing with a focus on Commonsense Reasoning, Explainability and Interpretability, and Bias and Fairness in NLP.
I got my Master of Science in Computer Science from UMD in 2023. Before coming to Maryland, I graduated from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani in 2021 with a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
For Summer 2024, I was a research intern in the Special Projects group at Microsoft Research with Scott Counts, where I worked on understanding how user experience is impacted in cases of model mis-alignment with human values.
