I am a 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 models(Diffusion, Flows and EBMs) with an emphasis on conditional and efficient generation. Currently I am exploring compositional abilities (the ability to represent and combine multiple semantic concepts) of these models, 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 Indian Institute of Science, advised by Prof. Sriram Ganapathy, where I studied representation learning and interpretability for audio and speech.
