PhD Student, University of California, Irvine

Hi, I am currently a second year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine advised by Prof. Stephan Mandt. I recently completed a summer internship supervised by Dr. Maja Rudolph at Bosch AI Research. My current research work is supported by the HPI Fellowship.

Previously, I was a graduate student in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur advised by Prof. Piyush Rai where I also collaborated with Dr. Abhishek Kumar and Prof. Hamim Zafar.

My current research interests broadly lie in the study of Deep Generative Models and Unsupervised Representation Learning. I am currently primarily interested in the theory and applications of Score-Based (or Diffusion) Models and related families (like Flow Matching, Interpolants etc). Feel free to contact me about any collaboration opportunities or queries about my work in general.
