About Me

Hi! I am a postdoc at the University of Virginia, working with Prof. Tom Hartvigsen. Before joining UVA, I completed my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at IIIT Delhi, India, where I was advised by Prof. Vikram Goyal and Prof. Tanmoy Chakraborty. My research focuses on understanding and enhancing neural language generation models, particularly large language models (LLMs), and their applications in natural language processing tasks such as abstractive text summarization.

Research Interests

I am interested in enabling language models to continuously learn and adapt beyond their initial pretraining. My current research explores model editing, developing methods to update models efficiently with new information and corrections. I build modular systems that apply each change locally, allowing the model to evolve while retaining its existing knowledge. My long-term vision is to create models that learn like humans: accumulating knowledge over time, refining their understanding, and remaining robust as language, technology, and societal values change. Such systems could become trusted AI partners in critical areas like healthcare, education, and policy, where outdated information is not just inconvenient but potentially harmful. Such systems could become trustworthy AI partners in critical domains like healthcare, education, and policy, where being outdated is not just a limitation but a serious risk.
