I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington. I work in the Mobile Intelligence Lab advised by Prof. Shyam Gollakota and Prof. Michael Taylor. I’m also working at Meta AI as a visiting researcher. I’m interested in Speech/Audio Language Modeling, Conversational AI and Human-Computer Interaction. I got my Bachelor’s degree at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and my Master’s degree at the University of Washington.
✨ Open to full-time research positions starting Spring/Summer 2025. ✨
