BIO

I am an MS student in the Computer Science department at Stanford University, where I work with Percy Liang's group on distribution shift in NLP. In the Summer of 2020, I will be graduating from Stanford to work with the Lex Team at Amazon Research, and I will be joining the PRIOR team at Allen Institute for AI (AI2) as a Pre-doctoral Young Investigator in the Fall of 2020.

Previously, I received my BTech in Computer Engineering (gold medalist) from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, India, in 2017.

Here is my CV.
