I am a Staff Research Scientist at Intel Labs working on multi-modal, safe and responsible AI. I graduated from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill with a Master in Computer Science advised by Prof. Gedas Bertasius. While at UNC, my research focused on multi-modal AI.

I was a Senior Engineer at Samsung Bangalore, for 3 years where I worked on Bixby (Samsung’s voice assistant). My job was to design NLU models to help improve Bixby. I had the opportunity to work under Prof. Asif Eqbal on multi-modal dialog systems. I graduated from National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli with Bachelors in Computer Science. While pursuing UG studies, I worked closely with Prof. Sivasankar on statistical feature extraction techniques for sentiment analysis.

I am interested in contributing to open source frameworks that empower neural networks. I was also a member of Distributed Deep Machine Learning Community and reviewer of gluonnlp, Amazon’s NLP library.
