I'm a second-year graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, pursuing a Master of Science degree in Computer Science. I am currently working as a graduate research assistant under the guidance of Dr. Katrin Erk, developing LLMs for Scientific Fact-checking. I'm also working under Dr. Chandrajit Bajaj on developing variational methods for multimodal co-clustering of imaging data as part of the Computational Visualization Center at the Oden Institute of Computational Sciences, UT Austin. My previous research was on differential diagnosis using knowledge graphs under Dr. Prema Nedungadi and Dr. Gopakumar G as part of the Case-based Medical Simulation (MedSim) project.

Prior to joining UT, I worked with the Databases Research Wing at Zoho Corporation where I worked on implementing Machine Learning based automated Database knob tuning pipelines for the company's in-house PostgreSQL databases.
