Welcome
Hi!
I am a research scientist at Facebook AI working in the fields of computer vision, natural language, and machine learning. Prior to joining Facebook, I got my PhD from the Department of ECE, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. José Moura.
My interests are in the intersection of natural language and computer vision, and broadly, to solve multimodal AI problems using deep learning techniques. I closely collaborate with Prof. Devi Parikh and Prof. Dhruv Batra from Georgia Tech on tasks that require multimodal reasoning (vision and language), for example, visual dialog (VisDial).
I completed my undergraduate from Department of Electrical Engineering (EE), Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in 2014 along with a minor in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE).
