PhD CS, Virginia Tech.

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, where I am co-advised by Dr. Anuj Karpatne and Dr. T.M. Murali. My research focuses on Language Models and multimodal AI. During my Master’s, I was a part of the KGML Lab and was advised by Dr. Anuj Karpatne. My thesis explored Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for predicting structured Scene Graph relationships without additional fine-tuning.

My academic journey began at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati (IIIT Guwahati), where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Ferdous Ahmed Barbhuiya.

Outside of academia, I enjoy online gaming, soccer, and music. I am deeply passionate about singing and percussion, and I have been involved with bands such as Kala@VT and Ataasi The Band throughout my academic career.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in discussing AI research topics, collaborating on projects, or even jamming to some music!
