I'm currently a Member of Technical Staff at Adobe's Digital Experience team in Bangalore, India. Additionally, I also collaborate with the Big Data Experience Lab at Adobe Research, under Dr. Aparna Garimalla where I primarily work on fairness in large langauge models.

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 assessing 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 Project Lead and Collaborator at OpenMined where I dedicate my time researching and developing secure and privacy-preserving AI tools. I am fortunate to have researched with amazing professors (Dr. Ashique Khudabuksh, Dr. Ferdinando Fioretto, Dr. Daniel Hershcovitch, Dr. Amine Trabelsi, Dr. Akrati Saxena), research scientists (Dr. Aparna Garimalla, Dr Saurabh Aggarwal), postdocs (Dr. Niloofar Mireshghallah (Fatemeh), Dr. Chirag Agarwal) and students (Krithika Ramesh, Rakshit Naidu, Aman Priyanshu). These experiences have allowed to identify and find solutions to potential harms caused by NLP tools in society.

Furthermore, during my undergraduate years, I led as the General Secretary of the Research Society MIT. In this role, I led initiatives to foster research awareness and accessibility, organizing events like CSResearch4Freshers and Cognizance, where experienced researchers shared insights to guide newcomers on their research journeys.

Another 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.
