Currently, I am working on reasoning for Multimodal Language Models (MLMs) at LCS2 under Dr. Tanmoy Chakroborty and Dr. Akshay Nambi (MSR, India). Previously, I was an intern at CynLr (please check them out), a robotics research organisation where I worked on Machine Vision, Reinforcement Learning and hardware-level computer vision. I have also worked with Dr. Ranjitha Prasad at IIIT-Delhi, Prof Ravi Kiran S at IIIT-H. I have also interned at KLIV, IIT Kharagpur.
