Γειά σου!

I am a National Postdoctoral Fellow (NPDF) at IIT Kharagpur, working with Prof. Pawan Goyal.

Previously, I was a post-doctoral fellow at The Cyprus Institute, hosted by Prof. Constantine Dovrolis. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from National Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar, India, and was advised by Dr. Subhankar Mishra.

Prior to this, I graduated from Goa College of Engineering with a B.E. in Computer Engineering and Goa University with a M.Tech in Computer Science.

Research Interests

I work on graph machine learning, privacy-preserving AI, and efficient deep learning, with applications in sensing, energy, medical imaging, and multilingual NLP. My current research focuses on privacy-preserving and parameter-efficient adaptation of multilingual large language models.
