IIT Kharagpur

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, under the supervision of Prof. Sourangshu Bhattacharya. I am also a member of the Complex Networks Research Group.

Research - I am broadly interested in Machine Learning, with specific interests in Scalability, Explainability and Data-centric AI. I have applied these techniques on problems in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. My research involves subset selection for efficient and robust deep learning. I would be happy to talk about recent advancements around LLMs.
