I am a first second year PhD in Machine Learning (ML) student at ISyE, Georgia Tech. I was a recipient of the Thomas H. Johnson Fellowship award for the academic year of 2023-24.
I'm beyond fortunate to be co-advised by the awesome Professor Juba Ziani and Professor Kai Wang. While my research interests hover around Responsible ML and Trustworthy AI, specifically tackling privacy and fairness issues in machine learning, I'm currently exploring how to register societal impact of AI applications through optimization.
If you have any queries related to my work or a potential collaboration, please feel free to reach out to me!
In my free time, I play badminton 🏸 and soccer ⚽. I used to represent CMU for Badminton (check out their Instagram page for more info: @cmubadminton!), now I serve as the "Social Media/PR Coordinator" at Georgia Tech Badminton Club (GTBC) Executive Body for the academic year 2024-25.
I also hold an Open Water scuba diving certification and I'm an amateur wakeboarder.

I'm also an avid and a frequent traveler; already having visited 20+ countries. Here, I keep a track of all the (new) places I've visited during my Masters/PhD :
Amman --> Aqaba --> Wadi Rum --> Petra --> Dead Sea 🌊 --> Jerash --> Amman, Jordan 🇯🇴 [Fall Break 2024]
