PhD Student @ SiNRG | ECE, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
I am a 4th-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Romit Roy Choudhury in the Signals and Inference Research Group (SiNRG). My research centers on generative and diffusion-based models, with an emphasis on compositional generation, controllable synthesis, and robustness. I explore how diffusion models represent and combine multiple visual or semantic concepts, and how corrective or guided sampling can improve their alignment and reliability.
Before my Ph.D., I worked as a Research Fellow at the LEAP Lab at the Indian Institute of Science, advised by Prof. Sriram Ganapathy, where I studied representation learning and interpretability for audio and speech.
Across both domains, my broader goal is to develop robust and controllable generative models that can compose multiple concepts coherently and generalize across modalities.
