Research Experience
1. PhD student at Virginia Tech working on deep learning related research; 2. Worked with Huazheng Wang on projects involving adversarial attacks.
Education
PhD: Virginia Tech, Advisor: Tu Vu; B.Tech: National Institute of Technology Tiruchirapalli (NIT-Trichy), India, where he was part of RMI, the robotics club.
Background
Research interests: Deep learning, language modeling, efficiency, and alignment. Previously worked with Huazheng Wang on adversarial attacks on bandit algorithms and the impact of ordering in recommendation systems.
Miscellany
Other interests include: involvement in multiple autonomous robot control projects such as 3D reconstruction from endoscopic images, contrastive learning for OOD in object detection, and autonomous mapping and safe footfall planning for hexapods.
