Minneapolis, MN

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. At UMN, I am fortunate to be advised by Ali Anwar. My research is funded by the Amazon ML Systems Fellowship and Departmental GAGE Fellowship. Iโll be spending summer at NEC Labs America working with Vijay Kumar and Manmohan Chandraker.
My research focuses on reasoning and coordination in LLM agents. I am interested in how multiple agents can collaborate to solve complex tasks more efficiently. Prior to joining UMN, I spent four beautiful years completing undergrad at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, India. During my undergrad, I worked with Debanga Raj Neog, Ali Anwar, and Rohitash Chandra.
