About

There’s something uniquely compelling about problems that resist easy solutions. During my B.Tech at Amity University, I learned the value of learning, unlearning, and adapting, perceiving algorithms beyond the textbook and using them as evolving techniques to handle practical complexity. At Amazon Web Services, I was exposed to the discipline of industry-scale systems, best practices, and the skill of building within constraints. My fascination with natural language processing began with the subtlety of meaning, how a single semantic shift can ripple through a system. That curiosity gradually evolved into questions of safety, misuse, and the unpredictable behavior of large language models under adversarial conditions. After completing my Master’s in Computer Science at ASU, I began my PhD, working at the Human Aspects in cyber Protection & PrivacY (HAPPY) Lab. My work focuses on adversarial machine learning, language model vulnerabilities, and human-centered AI security. I aim to build systems that are as safe and responsible as they are powerful. The work is intricate and often unpredictable. But that’s where the most important questions live.
