About me
I am a final year PhD student at the Software and Societal Systems Department (formerly known as the Institute for Software Research), School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University where I am adviced by Prof. Vincent Hellendoorn and Prof. Claire Le Goues. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence for Code, Large Language Models, Generative AI.
Previously, I spent two years as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Lab - India where I was fortunate to work with Chetan Bansal on using Machine Learning techniques to aid the Software Developement process. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Sreangsu Acharyya, Dr. Subho Mukherjee, Dr. Nachi Nagappan and Dr. Tom Zimmermann on several projects.
Prior to the fellowship, I attended PES University where I obtained a Bachelor’s in Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Data Science in 2019. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Gowri Srinivasa on my Bachelor’s thesis.
