I am a PhD student at UC Berkeley, where I am happily advised by Ahmed Alaa and Michael I. Jordan. I am affiliated with the Computational Precision Health program and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR). I am interested in developing principled and robust solutions to ensure the reliable use of machine learning systems in real-world deployments. My research currently builds on tools and concepts from statistics to develop methods for uncertainty quantification.

Previously, I was a pre-doctoral research fellow at Microsoft Research, working with Amit Sharma and Emre Kiciman on causal inference and out-of-distribution generalization. I obtained my bachelor’s (B.E.) in Computer Science in 2021 from BITS Pilani, India.
