I am a researcher at Microsoft Research NYC. These days, I mostly work on the reasoning and algorithmic capabilities of language models. More broadly, I am interested in the foundations of artificial (and natural) intelligence.

I did my PhD at Stanford University, advised by Greg Valiant, and then was a postdoc at Harvard University hosted by Seth Neel and Boaz Barak. At Stanford, I co-founded Algorithms and Friends, an initiative to increase interaction between the Theory Group and other Stanford researchers. Prior to Stanford, I spent a year at Microsoft Research India working with Deeparnab Chakrabarty and Ravishankar Krishnaswamy. I did my undergrad at IIT Bombay.

I am lucky to have worked with the following students:
Charis Pipis (MIT)
Kanishk Gandhi (Stanford)
Omar Salemohamed (MILA)
