I am a senior research engineer working on language research at Google Deepmind (formerly Google Research - Brain Team). My current research focus is on improving the generation and alignment capabilities of large language models, specifically RLHF and preference optimization for post training of Gemini. Before joining Google, I did my research masters in Language Technologies (MLT) from Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, co-advised by Alan W Black, Yulia Tsvetkov and Alex Rudnicky.

Before I joined CMU, I worked in Samsung Research Institute, Bangalore, India where I was working in the Voice Intelligence Team on dialogue systems and chat-bots. Before that, I spent a wonderful semester working with Partha Talukdar at Machine and Language Learning (MALL) Lab in the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. I graduated with a B.Eng. in Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India. In my Bachelor's thesis, I worked on incorporating external knowledge in distantly supervised neural relation extraction methods as part of iNELL (which is based on NELL).
