ECSS 3.214, Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science, UTD

I am an AI researcher trying to make machines capable of representing knowledge while reasoning about uncertainties in this increasingly complex world.

Presently, I am a 1st year Ph.D. student working at the StARLing Lab headed by Dr. Sriraam Natarajan. I work broadly in the domains of Neuro-Symbolic AI, Probabilistic Generative Models and Meta-learning. I also explore novel applications that can benefit from these reasearch areas, especially problems that can impact society for the better. Previously, I completed by undergraduate studies majoring in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Ropar, where I was fortunate to be a part of the LSAIML team headed by Dr. Narayanan C. K.

I am passionate about building robust and efficient systems that can reason probabilistically and make interpretable decisions. I enjoy connecting dots and innovating ideas that span multiple disciplines. I have a strong academic background in engineering and machine learning. If you would like to collaborate, please feel free to reach out through email .
