I am a second year M.S. Thesis student in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, advised by Haibin Ling. I have also been fortunate to work with Arie Kaufman and H. Andrew Schwartz.

Presently, I am applying to Ph.D. programs with an interest in building personalizable Human-centered Large Language Models that can generate behaviorally-accurate responses or actions by capturing short term states and long term behavioral traits.

Previously, I completed my B.Tech. in Computer Engineering at Sardar Patel Institute of Technology and joined JPMorganChase as a Software Engineer.
