I am a fourth-year Computer Science student at PES University, Bangalore, with research interests in mechanistic interpretability and optimization dynamics of neural networks, focusing on architecturally and algorithmically guaranteed internal structures in multimodal and algorithmic models.
Currently, I am a research intern at the University of California, Berkeley, working with Prof. Prasad Raghavendra on mechanistic interpretability of neural networks. In parallel, I am a research intern at the Vision and AI Lab (VAL) at the Indian Institute of Science, working under Prof. Venkatesh Babu on object-centric representation learning.
Previously, I conducted research at the CDSAML Lab at PES University under Prof. Shylaja S S, focusing on hypergraph-based models for sentiment analysis. I am also currently supported by the Junior Research Fellowship at PES University.
I'm always open to collaboration, so feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect or work together!
