Experience
Research Intern @ Microsoft Research India
July 2024 - Present
Working on applications of AI in Industry and Energy. Collaborating with Sameer Segal, Srinivasan Iyengar, and Shivkumar Kalyanaraman to develop Generative AI solutions for industrial use.
Visiting Student Researcher @ UdeM
July 2023 - December 2023
Thesis on "Evaluating the Equity of AI Algorithms while Learning-to-Rank," supervised by Prof. Shin Koseki. Also contributed to urban planning research on public space equity through the MITACS GRI Fellowship.
Software Development Intern @ Atlassian
June 2023 - July 2023
Developed a Knowledge Base Assistance prototype, leveraging Generative AI to improve resolution time for self-service tickets by ~35%, enhancing support for the Atlassian Suite.
Research Intern @ AIISC:
September 2022 - March 2023
Worked on creating a novel analogical reasoning benchmark for evaluating analogical reasoning capabilities of LLMs inspired from cognitive science. Also contributed to a project in Physics Inspired Neural Networks to find flaws and improve performance of LLMs, influenced by the impossible triangle of the Pre-trained LLMs.
Summer Research Intern @ CSIR-CEERI Pilani:
May 2022 - July 2022
Worked on Image Inpainting Using Partial Convolutional U-Nets for Ancient Image Restoration. I used different types of GANs and UNets to restore Ancient Indian Mural Images for virtual culture preservation.
