I am a Ph.D. candidate at the UNSW-NLP group at University of New South Wales. I am advised by Dr. Aditya Joshi, Dr. Padmanesan Narasimhan and Dr. Salil Kanhere. My research interests broadly lie in socio-culturally inclusive language technologies, and my projects involve developing multicultural and multilingual dialogue agents for emergency triage. My Ph.D. project is funded by the NHMRC Ideas grant awarded to Dr. Narasimhan.

I graduated with a Master of Information Technology with Excellence from UNSW Sydney. My masters thesis, supervised by Dr. Joshi, involved evaluating and improving dialect robustness for decoder models using adapter-based methods.

I have worked as a Research Assistant on a project funded by the Google Research Scholar grant, to build a benchmark for sentiment and sarcasm classification for varieties of English.

I also have experience in mentoring undergrad students in their NLP projects (from ideation to publication). Please reach out if you're interested in connecting, collaborating or discussing research... and beyond! I am easier to find on Twitter/X.
