I’m a Postdoctoral researcher at FAIR (Meta AI), London, working with Yoram Bachrach on AI Research Agents (AIRA). Previously, I have interned twice at Meta, working closely with Nicolas Carion, Yoram Bachrach, Ruta Desai and Akshara Rai.
My doctoral research, supervised by Luc De Raedt and Pedro Zuidberg Dos Martires, primarily focused on developing LLM Agents equipped with search capabilities for improved reasoning and decision-making.
I completed my Masters in AI from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in 2019, supervised by Dr. Ambedkar Dukkipati. I have also had brief stints at Natural Understanding group @ Amazon Alexa-AI and as a Research Associate at Statistics and Machine Learning Group, exploring Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning.
