I am a Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University. My broad research interests are Applied Machine Learning, Interpretable AI (XAI) and Visualization. I am being advised by Dr. Han-Wei Shen at the CSE Department.

Before moving to OSU, I finished a B.E. Hons degree in Computer Science Engineering at BITS-Pilani Hyderabad Campus, India and spent some fun time interning at the Smart Data Analytics Lab, University of Bonn.

I am currently looking for full time positions starting January 2023.
