About Me
I’m a PhD student at the University of Washington advised by Martin Saveski, a Research Scientist Intern at Meta (FAIR) under Smitha Milli and Max Nickel and a research affiliate at MIT. My research interests are broadly within Computational Social Science, and span several topics including pluralistic alignment, scalable oversight and algorithms with pro-social objectives. Previously, I interned at Microsoft Research India and at the University of Michigan under Joyojeet Pal. I graduated magna cum laude from Ashoka University with a Gold Medal in Computer Science. Beyond academics, I’m a competent artist, photographer, archer and an incompetent pianist.
