About me
I’m a Research Scientist at Apple, broadly working on the safety of generative models. My research centers on fairness, interpretability, and robustness in generative models, with a particular focus on natural language processing (NLP).
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, where I was advised by Dr. Chandan Reddy. During my doctoral studies, I also worked at Google Research with Vinodkumar Prabhakaran and Sunipa Dev, studying vulnerabilities in generative models at scale across text and visual modalities. Earlier, I interned at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, collaborating with Dr. David Jurgens and Dr. Libby Hemphill on identifying offensive comments and de-escalating conflicts on social media platforms. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from IIIT, Hyderabad, India.
What’s new?
