PROSE Team

I am a Research Fellow at Microsoft on the PROSE team, where I’m working on pretty cool projects. I graduated from BITS Pilani, Goa Campus with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

During my academic journey, I collaborated with Prof. Preethi Jyothi from CSALT, IIT-Bombay on advancing Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for low-resource accented speeches. I also worked with Senior Prof. Ashwin Srinivasan, Dr. Lovekesh Vig, and Dr. Gautam Shroff at APPCAIR, studying the behavior of Large Language Models in argumentative contexts.

My research interests span a broad spectrum, including Natural Language Processing (both text and speech), Program Synthesis, Representation Learning, Domain Generalization, and Low-resource Learning. I’m always curious about exploring new domains and ideas in machine learning and how they can be advanced.

Feel free to connect with me on any of my socials!
