Harvard University

I am a fourth-year PhD student at Harvard University advised by Prof. Milind Tambe. My current work focuses on Decision-Focused Learning, a paradigm for tailoring a predictive model for a downstream optimization task that uses its predictions.

Previously, I was Research Engineer at Singapore Management University (SMU) advised by Prof. Pradeep Varakantham where I used Reinforcement Learning to solve problems in Transportation and Security. I also spent a year at Microsoft Research India during which I worked on Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICTD) with Dr. Colin Scott and Dr. Bill Thies and Natural Language Processing with Dr. Sundararajan Sellamanickam.
