Bio
I am a PhD student at the University of Oxford, in the OATML group, supervised by Prof. Yarin Gal and funded by LASR. Before this, I spent a few months building long-horizon RL environments at Proximal after my stint as a Pre-Doctoral Researcher at Google DeepMind in the Autonomous Agents team, where I was advised by Dr. Rishi Saket and Dr. Aravindan Raghuveer. I also worked as a Member of Technical Staff at Oracle AI focusing on speech generation after completing my B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Ropar with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence, where I was advised by Prof. Shweta Jain, Prof. Shashi Shekhar Jha and Prof. Abhinav Dhall.

My current research is on continual learning: how a foundation model can learn from new data without being retrained on an updated data mixture. I am interested in the theory behind this, and in applying it to scientific discovery, where new results keep coming in.

Keywords: Continual Learning, Foundation Models, Reinforcement Learning and Agents

For more details about my background, refer to my Resume / CV. I am always happy to discuss research, potential collaborations, or just chat about ML. Feel free to reach out with a specific topic of discussion via Email or LinkedIn!

Projects

Verifiable Problem Generation for Gemini Thinking
Engineered a fully-verifiable curriculum generation engine for improving thinking in Gemini models. Contributed 38% of the data in the Gemini thinking data revision, leading to >10% improvement on downstream tasks like Math and NL Reasoning.

Transformer-based Text-to-Speech (TTS)
Built Oracle's in-house TTS model supporting few-shot voice cloning. Handled high-fidelity data procurement, distributed training on Slurm clusters, deployment via Triton inference server, and developer experience.
