Duke University | Not a slightest clue in life

I am a second-year M.S. student in Computer Science at Duke University.

I am currently part of CERT Labs, working under Prof. Praneeth Vepakomma at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), where my focus is on reducing the memory utilization of large language models (LLMs).

Additionally, I am advised by Prof. Monica Agrawal at Duke University, where I work on studying and improving medical chatbots to enhance their accuracy and real-world usability.

Still figuring out what truly excites me, but I’ll probably update this when I do! 🫠

Feel free to explore my work and reach out! 🚀
