About

I am an Advisory Research Engineer at IBM Research – India Lab with close to five years of experience in machine learning, deep learning, and AI systems. My work lies at the intersection of AI algorithms, system-level optimizations, and high-performance computing. At Intel, I developed high-performance GPU kernels with SYCL for Falcon Shores architecture, optimized performance-critical operators, and explored advanced ML research combining VAEs with Diffusion Models, co-authoring papers submitted to CVR 2025 and IEEE CONNECT 2025. Previously at Qualcomm, I optimized ONNX models for NLP, CV, and LLMs on the AI100 accelerator and contributed to custom node fusion operations for inference acceleration. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from IIT Bombay, where my research focused on multimodal meta-learning for sarcasm and emotion analysis. My expertise spans deep learning for NLP, CV, and LLMs, GPU kernel optimization, AI systems, and bridging research with real-world performance.

While working as Research Assistant, I developed a multi-modal approach to understanding emotions in Sarcasm.
The work touches upon the incongruities of the language. The hidden emotions behind a sentence. In text-to-text, my focus has been on problems such as emotion classification, sentiment analysis, and understanding sarcasm.
Worked in joint collaboration of IBM and IIT Bombay on Understanding emotions in Sarcasm.
Trained a transformer based architecture for leveraging the relation between video, audio and textual features. Proved that emotion information was necessary to identify sarcasm more precisely. Experiments with emotion information had 15.6% better performance.
