I am a first year PhD student at Yale CS, advised by Professor Smita Krishnaswamy and Professor Rex Ying. My research focuses on building foundation model for biological data.

Earlier, I was an ECE pre-doctoral research fellow in Electrical Communication Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. I worked with Sundeep Prabhakar Chepuri on unsupervised representation learning for simplicial complexes.

I began my research journey at LDRP Institute of Technology and Research (BE in Computer Engineering) under the guidance of Sandip Modha and Thomas Mandl, where I focused on the detection of hate speech in public conversational threads on social media.

My primary research interest is Geometric Deep Learning (GDL). Previously, I worked on simplicial representation learning without labels. Now a days, I am focusing applications of GDL in Biology.
