I co-founded Lyrebird-AI. We are hiring awesome software developers. Please contact me if you are interested.

I am a PhD Student at MILA advised by Aaron Courville and Yoshua Bengio. I graduated with B. Tech. and M. Tech. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kanpur.

I visited MILA, University of Montreal as an intern in 2016. I was advised by Prof. Vinay P. Namboodiri and Prof. Yoshua Bengio for my masters thesis.

I visited Computer Vision lab, UMASS, Amherst in summers 2015 where I worked with Prof. Subhransu Maji
