Currently making GPUs go burrrrr..... at Meta AI (FAIR) NYC with the mission of building foundation models for multimodal data.


Before this, I was an AI Resident at FAIR (Meta AI) London where I explored ideas to improve systematic generalization of Reinforcement Learning agents with Roberta Raileanu and Tim Rocktäschel. I have also spent a wonderful year at Carnegie Mellon University writing my undergraduate thesis under Katerina Fragkiadaki on topics in 3D Computer Vision and Language Grounding. I completed my undergraduate studies at BITS Pilani, majoring in Computer Science.
