I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at NC State University. I have been working under the advisement of Dr. Munindar P. Singh since 2019. I completed my Master of Science (in CS) from NC State University in 2019 under the advisement of Dr. Collin F. Lynch . My contributions at NC State University have been recognized with awards such as the Outstanding TA Award in 2021 and the Outstanding Leadership Award in 2023.

I am passionate about exploring the ethical and social implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). My research aspires to identify and mitigate the adverse effects of AI. My dissertation focuses on identifying social and political bias in generative AI, i.e., Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT. And analyzing political bias in news discourse and its influence on readers.

My industry experience includes two years at Oracle working on Software Deployment Infrastructure (SDI) for Oracle Public Cloud (OPC) and shorter stints working on machine learning projects for Lenovo, Seagate, and Coupang.

About Me

I was born and grew up in Varanasi, India. I lived in Bangalore, India for six years before moving to the US. Post work, you can find me working out at the gym, jamming music with friends (I am a flutist), listening to a podcast, or reading a book. I love hiking and being amidst nature. My latest expedition is to hike in all US National Parks (I have covered 12 so far)

Here's my resume.
