About Me

I am a senior year undergraduate student from VIT (Vellore Campus) pursuing a major in Computer Science and Engineering. My research interests include natural language procesing and its intersection with healthcare and social media. I also spend time studying various low resource languages. I am currently working on assessing various language models available for English, Hindi and Marathi to test their syntactic capsbilities.

I am also an active Data Scientist and actively takes part in online hackathon platforms such as Kaggle and MachineHack. I engage with the student research community by being part of The Language Research Group (LRG) at BITS Goa. Apart from the above mentioned interests, I am also enthusiastic about History of Mankind, Psycology, Evolution of Human Kind and Trance Music.
