About

Hi there! I’m an MS-Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Prof. Justin Domke. I am broadly interested in Probabilistic Machine Learning. These days, I focus on scaling and automating variational inference methods for large datasets.

Prior to this I spent four wonderful years at IIT Kanpur acquiring background in machine learning and electrical engineering.

  • Probabilistic Machine Learning
  • Approximate Inference
  • Generative Modeling

Education

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science, 2018-Present

    University of Massachusetts Amherst

  • B.Tech, 2018
