I'm a research assistant at CISPA and an undergraduate at BITS Goa. My work explores the intersection of ML, interpretability, security, and reverse-engineering — from understanding how LLMs reason and fail, to building more transparent and resilient AI systems.

I am actively looking for Research Engineer / Fellow positions in teams involving AI Security & Safety or LLM Reasoning. Moreover, I'm also interested in research collaborations and PhD opportunities with advisors exploring AI Security, Privacy or Distributed Systems.
