About Me

I am a 4th year PhD student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. I am advised by Dhruv Batra and also collaborate closely with Devi Parikh. My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing.

Before transferring to Georgia Tech, I spent 3 years at Virginia Tech as graduate student working with Dhruv Batra and collaborating with Devi Parikh.

I received my bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar in May 2014.

As a research intern I have spent time at Microsoft Research Redmond in Summer 2017 and Summer 2015, at Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Spring 2017, and at Human Photonics Laboratory in University of Washington Seattle in summer 2013.
