I am a postdoc in Computer Science at Stanford, working with Tatsu Hashimoto, Percy Liang, and Tengyu Ma. I got my PhD from MIT, where I was fortunate to be advised by Aleksander Madry and Nir Shavit. Before that, I graduated from IIT Bombay with a Bachelors and Masters in Electrical Engineering. In the past, I have had the opportunity to intern at Google Brain and Vicarious.

I am interested in developing machine learning tools that perform reliably in the real world, and characterizing the consequences if they fail to do so. My research has been supported by a Google PhD fellowship and an Open Philanthropy early career grant.
