নমস্কার!
Welcome fellow researchers to my website! I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science. My main areas of research interest are Large Language Models, Multimodal AI, and Natural Language Processing. At present, I am a Provost’s Chair Early Career Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore. I was also part of the Institute of High-Performance Computing (IHPC), ASTAR as a senior scientist. Before joining SUTD, I worked at NTU where I was awarded the prestigious NTU presidential postdoctoral fellowship.
I am open to collaborations. If you are interested please drop me an email. To know more about my work, please browse the catalog of my publications. You may also visit my Google Scholar profile.
Our lab is called DeCLaRe Lab. We work on different challenging AI problems centered on Large Language Models (LLMs), Multimodal AI, Commonsense Reasoning, and more.
