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. Iโ€™ll 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.
