Hi! I am a masters student in IEOR at Columbia University, where I'm fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tianyi Lin. My current research focuses on multi-objective optimization, AI alignment, and preference modeling.
Before this, I spent a fulfilling year at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, working with Prof. Sandeep Juneja. Even before that, I completed my B.Tech in Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi, where I was guided by Dr. Kiran Seth.
When I'm not buried in research, I'm busy building Weaverly — a fun little startup that helps women find new friends and build real connections in their city. Because making friends as an adult should be easier (and way more enjoyable)!
I'm actively looking for research-driven roles or collaborations in AI and optimization - feel free to reach out!
