Hello! I’m a graduate student at Northeastern University pursuing an MS in Artificial Intelligence offered by Khoury College of Computer Sciences. I completed my BTech degree from Vellore Institute of Technology in 2023. My research interests span Machine Learning Security and Privacy, Explainable AI, and Computer Vision. I’ve published papers on Federated Learning, Differential Privacy, Adversarial Machine Learning, Genetic Algorithms, and Computer Vision.
I’m proud to have received the Raman Research Award from Vellore Institute of Technology for my publication titled “A Novel Data Poisoning Attack in Federated Learning based on Inverted Loss Function” (Link). Currently, I’m conducting research on Knowledge Distillation for Federated Learning in heterogeneous settings.
I’m actively seeking summer 2024 internship and fall 2024 co-op opportunities. I’m always open to discussing and collaborating on novel research. Feel free to reach out to me via email or LinkedIn. Thank you for stopping by!
