I am currently a third year PhD student at UCLA jointly supervised by Prof. Song-Chun Zhu and Prof. Joyce Chai.
I work at the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing (NLP), with the focuses on explainable AI (XAI) models. I also work closely with Prof. Sinisa Todorovic (Oregon State University), Prof. Arash A. Amini (UCLA), Dr. Xiaodan Liang (CMU) and Dr. Changsong Liu (DMAI)
Prior to this, I was a Research Software Engineer at IBM Research AI in the Cognitive Research Department supervised by Dr. Gargi B Dasgupta. I did my Bachelors and Masters (by Research) in Computer Science and Engineering at IIIT Hyderabad, India. For my masters thesis, I worked on Question Answering Systems and Dialogue Systems at Language Technologies Research Center (LTRC) under the supervision of Prof. Radhika Mamidi and Prof. Rajeev Sangal. Academic Activities Panelist: UCLA Data Science Workshop 2018
