About me
I am a Master’s student in the Language Science and Technology department at Saarland University, Germany, where I work as a Research Assistant in the Language, Computation, and Cognition Lab under Dr. Michael Hahn.
Research Interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of formal languages and model interpretability, with a particular emphasis on exploring the capabilities and limitations of neural network architectures, including Transformers and State Space Models. My goal is to address core questions such as:
- Which tasks are these architectures inherently incapable of performing, regardless of scaling?
- How can we overcome these limitations to develop scalable architectures that avoid these pitfalls?
- Is it possible to construct a theoretically grounded framework that can predict which in-context learning abilities, a large scale model based on these architectures might acquire?
I intend to pursue a PhD and utilize formal logic and theoretical computer science to enhance the interpretability of neural models, ultimately contributing to the development of more robust and explainable AI systems.
Academic and Professional Background
I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Manipal Institute of Technology in 2020. Following my graduation, I spent three years working as a Machine Learning Engineer in the R&D team at Glib.ai. I have also had internships at Samsung R&D, Bangalore in their On-Device AI division and at Novartis, Hyderabad, India.
Beyond work
When I’m not buried deep into understanding some research paper or am not scratching my head debugging my code, I indulge my interests to keep myself balanced (or at least that’s what I think). I am semi-decent at dancing, enjoy playing chess, and love experimenting with cooking. I am always up for hiking and find the most joy in discussing about philosophical questions and ethical dilemmas. Having these conversations on a hike would be chef’s kiss xD.
