I am currently a Visiting Researcher at MBZUAI, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Junpei Komiyama. Previously, at UC San Diego, I worked on latent reasoning in vision-language models, and at Purdue University, my work was focused on inference-time alignment of language models. I also founded Insituate, where we shipped agentic systems to banks and judiciary. I earned my bachelors degree in Computer Science and Biosciences from IIIT Delhi in 2024.

I like to understand how foundation models reason and how we can make that reasoning more efficient and trustworthy. A lot of what I do spans language and vision, with a focus on keeping these models safe, reliable and aligned with human values.
