Hi! I am a first-year PhD student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science, University of Washington. I am associated with Infoseeking Lab, RAISE and advised by Chirag Shah. My research interests span building lawful, ethical and privacy-preserving machine learning models for societal good. I also like to work on understanding and mitigating various challenges in democratising AI. I am fortunate to be supported by Microsoft Endowed Fellowship.
Before joining PhD, I was a research intern at the Responsible AI group, MPI-SP, where I worked under the supervision of Asia Biega at the intersection of GDPR's Data Minimization Principle and Federated Learning. I completed my Master's in Computer Science & Engineering at IIT, Ropar, and was extremely fortunate to be advised by Shweta Jain and Sujit Gujar. I will always be thankful to them for being my first mentors, introducing me to research and guiding me throughout my journey to PhD. My Master's thesis aimed at improving fairness and communication efficiency in Federated Recommendation Systems.
