I’m Senior Software Engineer at Meta, working on improving the safety of Meta AI. Previously, I was an Applied Scientist at Amazon, working on Search and Recommender Systems to improve Alexa’s Speach Recognition and Language Understanding. I did my Master’s at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. Pengfei Liu and Prof. Graham Neubig where I worked on text summarization. Prior to that, I was a research assistant at Indian Institute of Science advised by Prof. Partha Talukdar. My research broadly focuses on LLMs, Safety Alignment, Search, Recommender Systems, Knowledge Graphs and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs).
