I'm currently a Graduate Student at LTI, CMU , where I'm advised by Dr. Fernando Diaz. Prior to this, I worked as a Member of Technical Staff at Adobe's Digital Experience team in Bangalore, India.

In brief, my research interests are centered around making NLP systems more accessible and practical for people all around the world. This entails delving deep into the intricacies of NLP models, uncovering biases, and critically evaluating their privacy and fairness aspects. I am also broadly interested in the societal and ethical implications of NLP models (for example - I am curious about whether LLMs are influenced by human-like opinions and behaviors) and the potential harms that emerge in their context.

In addition to this, I am a Research Lead and Collaborator at OpenMined where I dedicate my time researching and developing secure and privacy-preserving AI tools.

A significant aspect of my life involves advocating for women's rights. In college, I founded a nonprofit organization, Felasa Initiative, primarily focused on increasing legal awareness among women. We observed that a significant portion of women, including the educated ones, possessed limited knowledge about their legal rights. This served as the driving force behind our initiative. We are always on the lookout for volunteers who can contribute to this meaningful cause. Feel free to reach out here :)

You've made it this far 🎉. So let's take a glimpse of my more fun interests as well. Beyond research and various activities, I delight in 🎵 Bollywood music, and 🏊🏻‍♀️ swimming. Additionally, I have a keen interest in 🎭 theatre, a passion I cultivated during college, participating in various dramatic competitions throughout India.
