About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Emory University. I am advised by Dr. Avani Wildani where I work at designing knowledge transfer models for spatio-temporal datasets. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Yang Liu and Dr. Jianzhao Bi, and focuses on improving PM 2.5 predictions for data-deficient regions using domain adaptation and transfer learning. We also analyze how real-world data varies in complexity and the measures affecting their distribution, which in-effect provides insights into how transfer learning algorithms can be made more generalizable.
I also collaborate with Dr. Emily Wall, where I work in the field of human decision making especially looking into the change in belief and knowledge update patterns for individuals as a function of time.
I did my Master's degree at IIIT-Delhi and worked with Dr. Vinod Scaria @CSIR-IGIB during my Thesis.

Miscellaneous

When I'm not down the rabbit hole of research, I like to run, read and rhyme (yep, that was intentional). In a previous life, I liked playing soccer. Some might even say I am decent at the game. Some ... not me ;). I always appreciate good coffee and book recommendations. Here are some books that I would recommend:

  • <autobiographies> : [A River in Darkness| Masaji Ishikawa], [Educated| Tara Westover], [Five Chimneys| Olga Lengyel], [When Breath Becomes Air| Paul Kalanithi], [The Choice| Edith Eger], [Born a Crime| Trevor Noah]
  • <ultra-running> : [Finding Ultra| Rich Roll], [Eat & Run| Scott Jurek]
  • <growth/success> : [Can't Hurt Me| David Goggins], [Grit| Angela Duckworth], [Shoe Dog| Phil Knight]
