Life is like a puzzle in progress. In the end, we all wish that the pieces come together into a masterpiece...
I am a Masters's student in the Department of Computer Science at UCLA, advised by Prof. Violet Peng. I am currently engaged as a graduate student researcher and member of the PLUS lab, which is part of the UCLA NLP group.
I specialize in developing next-generation Chatbots, particularly focusing on Multimodal Chatbots. My research interests encompass Multimodal Learning, Generative AI, Large Language Models, Vision-Language Models, Alignment with Human Feeback and Instruction Tuning.
Outside of UCLA, I actively collaborate with Prof. Tapan Gandhi, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (Head of Neurocomputing Lab). Before my graduate academic pursuits, I gained valuable experience as a Senior Software Engineer in Samsung R&D's Visual Intelligence Team.
I'm enthusiastic about discussing the transformative impact of generative AI on our world today and brainstorming innovative startup concepts that harness this knowledge. Let's connect and dive into these exciting discussions!
