I am a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research NYC working on language reasoning and video models.
I recently finished my PhD from the University of Alberta, where I primarily worked in Reinforcement Learning. I was fortunate to be advised by Matthew E. Taylor at the UofA. During my PhD, I spent considerable time at MSR Montreal and New York, where I worked with Philip Bachman, Alex Lamb and John Langford. I also spent a year as a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Sergey Levine.
Previously, I was an AI resident at Facebook AI Research, Menlo Park, where I got the chance to work with Mohammad Ghavamzadeh. Even before, I was an undergraduate at IIT Madras, where I got introduced to RL research by Balaraman Ravindran.
