Exploring self-consistency and uncertainty in language model reasoning.
I study efficient and reliable reasoning in foundation models.
I am currently a Visiting Researcher at MBZUAI, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Junpei Komiyama. Previously, at UC San Diego, I worked on latent reasoning in vision-language models, and at Purdue University, my work was focused on inference-time alignment of language models. I also founded Insituate, where we shipped agentic systems to banks and judiciary. I earned my bachelors degree in Computer Science and Biosciences from IIIT Delhi in 2024.
I like to understand how foundation models reason and how we can make that reasoning more efficient and trustworthy. A lot of what I do spans language and vision, with a focus on keeping these models safe, reliable and aligned with human values.

Experience
Research Intern
University of Virginia
Developed a drift-resilient memory framework for code-execution agents using KL-constrained adapter
updates, mitigating embedding distribution shifts during online learning to reduce unsafe code generation
without compromising task success rates.
Research Intern
University of California - San Diego
Worked on multimodal reasoning – interleaving text and visuals within the chain-of-thought, enabling models to “think” with sketches, diagrams, and images. This work bridges language and vision to solve complex problems with richer, more interpretable reasoning.
Research Intern
Purdue University
Proposed an inference-time alignment method that outperforms Best-of-N decoding by over 30%, while reducing reward model calls by 20%. Aligned LLMs in reducing harmlessness, improved reasoning and positive sentiment generation.
