Bio
Hi! I am a PhD student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. My research broadly focuses on human–AI interaction in settings that require expertise and involve imbalances in knowledge. I design proactive agents that augment human knowledge by computationally modeling judgment and expertise. I am grateful for research support from the Community-Centered Computing Initiative (CECI) Grant and the Microsoft Endowed Fellowship.
Before joining PhD, I was a research intern at the 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 in Federated Recommendation Systems and was nominated for Best MTech Thesis Award.
