I am a doctoral researcher in the Prof. Zorah Lähner’s Geometry in ML group. I work on graph representation learning and analysis of latent spaces. Recently I graduated with an MS degree from Purdue Computer Science where I did my thesis with Prof. Bruno Ribeiro.
I worked on temporal graph learning at INSIGHT Lab and 3D scene reconstruction at Sony AI in Tokyo. I am looking for 2026 summer internships in Europe/Asia.

In a previous life, I was an undergraduate student at IIT Bombay Electrical Engineering from 2018-2022.

“Everything that happens is as natural as the rose in spring and the crop in summer. Such are disease and death, slander and treachery, and all the rest that delights fools or vexes them.”
