About Me
I am a Research Scientist at Meta, where I work on generative recommendation systems. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from Texas A\&M University, College Station, advised by
Dr. Guni Sharon as part of the
Pi Star Lab.
My research interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning, combinatorial optimization, recommendation systems, and machine learning.
In the summer of 2023, I was a visiting student at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii), where I worked with
Dr. Nathan Sturtevant and
Dr. Levi Lelis.
Earlier, in the summer of 2017, I was a visiting student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, working with
Dr. Biplab Banerjee.
