Research and engineering across academia and industry.

May 2026–present

Research Assistant

ETH SCAI Lab · Zürich / Nottwil, Switzerland

Analyzing multimodal wearable and clinical data for decongestion monitoring in cardiac recovery.

Supervision: Diego Paez-Granados.

Sep 2025–Sep 2026

Research Intern

ETH LRE Lab · Zürich, Switzerland

Developed a psychologically grounded, dynamic state-aware framework for simulating diverse and evolving student behaviours beyond static personas, enabling evaluation of adaptive LLM tutors across multi-turn interactions. This work led to DySAS, accepted at REALM @ EMNLP 2026.

Supervision: Mrinmaya Sachan and Heejin Do.

Jul 2024–Jun 2025

Research Fellow

Microsoft Research India · Bangalore, India

Developed a privacy taxonomy and curated a dataset for context-dependent, privacy-preserving summarization. Evaluated LLMs using automatic metrics and human judgments, improving privacy adherence over GPT-4o while maintaining summary consistency, relevance, and coherence.

Supervision: Akshay Nambi.

Jan–Jul 2024

Software Engineering Intern

Sprinklr · Gurgaon, India

Resolved memory leaks with memlab, reducing memory consumption by over 10%. Implemented server-side rendering with Next.js and GraphQL and end-to-end tests, improving load times by over 20%. Identified render blockers and improved application performance and resilience.

Aug 2023–Jan 2024

Research Intern

BITS Pilani · Pilani, India

Built a fundus-image annotation tool covering soft and hard exudates, microaneurysms, hemorrhages, and neovascularization. Collaborated with a hospital to curate a 3,000-image dataset. Applied image processing and custom deep-learning models to automate lesion annotation, achieving over 80% accuracy and specificity.

Supervision: Sundaresan Raman.

May–Aug 2023

Software Engineering Intern

Uber · Hyderabad, India

Built an end-to-end application using React.js, GraphQL, and Go to manage credit types for over 2,000 employees. Migrated financial data to a centralized MySQL database and automated integration and end-to-end tests, reducing onboarding time by two months.

Jan–May 2023

Research Intern

Mercedes-Benz · Bangalore, India

Trained customized variational autoencoders for parameter-controlled vehicle-component design generation on a proprietary dataset of over 25,000 data points. Developed comparison heuristics and a web application for researchers to generate custom designs.

Supervision: Poonam Goyal.

May–Jul 2022

Summer Research Intern

Jio Platforms · Mumbai, India

Built keyword-based image collection and annotation workflows and an automated bounding-box dataset pipeline. Trained a customized YOLOv7 model on public and proprietary datasets to distinguish people from objects and barriers; successful detections achieved over 90% model confidence.
