I’m currently a PhD student in Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) at MIT. I’m a member of the Design Computation and Digital Engineering (DeCoDE) Lab, advised by Professor Faez Ahmed. My recent research focus is on developing Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) and ML methods that build upon it (see this Nature article to know more about TFMs). I’ve published works on TFM-based Bayesian optimization (AutoML algorithms), multi-fidelity regression, fine-tuning with data generation pipelines. I also spent time at Prior Labs in Germany as their first research scientist intern (mentored by Professor Frank Hutter), contributing to the TabPFN ecosystem.

Prior to MIT, I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering with minors in Computer Science (AI) and Geophysics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I briefly worked on (geo)physics simulation research during my undergraduate time.
