Biography

I am a PhD student at Rice University advised by Dr. Richard G. Baraniuk, with a specialization in Natural Language Processing (NLP) for personalized education. My research address three critical aspects of AI-powered education: pedagogical alignment of LLMs, advanced learner modeling, and intelligent assessment, which directly correspond to three key factors that determine educational learning outcomes: instructional approach, learner understanding, and assessment quality respectively. 
 
Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked at Media.net in Mumbai, developing NLP and RL algorithms for contextual advertising. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
