Short Bio

I am a research engineer at OpenAI, working on privacy research in the team of Vinnie Monaco. My research is in privacy-preserving AI, with a specific focus on differential privacy and its applications to deep learning in production systems (including language and speech models).

Before joining OpenAI, I was a senior research scientist at Google, where I worked for 5 years. Prior to Google, I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Boston University (BU) in 2019. I was very fortunate to be advised by Dr. Adam Smith. At BU, I was a part of the Security group, and the Theoretical Computer Science group. I completed the first 3.5 years of my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, advised by Dr. Adam Smith. Before joining Penn State, I completed my B.Tech. in Information and Communication Technology from the Dhirubhai Ambani University, India in 2014.
