I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Virginia (UVA). I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Ferdinando Fioretto as a member of the RAISE Group at UVA. My research interests are broadly situated within the fascinating area of trustworthy/responsible AI; more precisely, these include differential privacy, contextual integrity, algorithmic fairness, adversarial robustness. I am also interested in cryptography and topics related to security and (agentic) LLMs.
Prior to this, I pursued an Integrated M.Sc. (BS+MS) degree at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. I also was a student researcher at the School of Computer Sciences at NISER (2021-2023).
Reach out to me anytime for discussing ideas/collaborations, regarding opportunities, and to give talks on my research. I’m open to research internship opportunities as well!
