About Me
I am currently pursuing Master’s in Data Science at EPFL where I do research on reasoning at NLP Lab and AI lab. Previously, I have been software/ML engineer, co-founder/entrepreneur and have 5+ years of experience in areas ranging from semiconductors to AI. I am also a proud University of Waterloo alumnus.
Research Interests
My interests broadly lie within the nature of robust artificial intelligence, language, cognitive science and mind. Currently, I am exploring neurosymbolic AI, reasoning, compositionality, abstraction/analogy, linguistically motivated NLP and knowledge-driven, cognitive-model-based AI.
