Biography

I am a senior Computer Science undergraduate at IIT Gandhinagar, India.

I am broadly interested in machine learning. My research projects have been focused on topics such as privacy-preserving machine learning, evaluating the effectiveness of generative models and observational causal discovery. I am also interested in computational biology and reinforcement learning.

I’ve had the pleasure of interning at:

• Inria Paris Saclay, summer 2019 with Prof. Isabelle Guyon and Prof. Kristin P. Bennett
• NSSPI - Texas A&M University, summer 2018 with Prof. Sunil Chirayath

I’ve also collaborated with Prof. Isabelle and Prof. Kristin as a part of ChaLearn.

At IIT Gandhinagar, I’ve worked with Prof. Anirban Dasgupta on using non-parametric topic models for motif discovery in DNA-protein interactions and with Prof. Neeldhara Misra on parametric methods for solving Markov Decision Processes.

I am also a maintainer for the Causal Discovery Toolbox (CDT), a Python package for causal inference in graphs and pairwise settings.

Teaching

I am/have been a teaching assistant for the following courses:

• ES 654: Machine Learning (Spring 2020) by Prof. Nipun Batra
• ES 112: Computing (Fall 2017) by Prof. Neeldhara Misra
