Hello! I am a fully funded M.S. Computer Science (Thesis Track) student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I am working with Prof. Sasa Misailovic. I earned my BTech with Honours in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Gandhinagar.
My research lies at the intersection of programming languages, formal methods, and machine learning, with a focus on structured generation and reasoning in language models. My work explores grammar-constrained generation and verification techniques to improve the reliability and interpretability of AI systems. I have collaborated with academic institutions like Aalto University and IISc Bangalore, and contributed to applied research projects at Microsoft Research and Spyne.AI.
This summer, I am in Seattle working with Sharad Agarwal, Rodrigo Fonseca, Alok Kumbhare, and Pedro Las-Casas at Microsoft Research, Redmond — hit me up if you want to chat about cool topics!
