Hello! I am a Computer Science PhD aspirant, and my research presently focuses on Climate Change, Computer Vision, Remote Sensing, Ethics and Policy.

I am currently working as a Machine Learning Engineer at Wuuii where I use Computer Vision to improve wildfire risk assessment. Alongside, I am conducting research on River Remediation and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) using ML and GIS on Remote Sensing Datasets with Collaborative Earth. I also work as a Researcher at UC Berkeley under Dr. Joshua Dimon, where I conducted a time-series Anomaly Detection of Powerplant Emissions to find areas of policy improvement.

I am also deeply involved with Queer in AI since 2022, serving as Program Chair for the NeurIPS workshops and conducting research to raise awareness of queer issues in the AI community. As part of this work, I co-authored a policy document titled AI Harms and Proposed Policy Interventions. I also co-authored a paper titled Queer In AI: A Case Study in Community-Led Participatory AI that won the best paper award at ACM FAccT 2023.

Prior to this, I worked as a ML Engineer with the AI for Good Foundation on their Climate Trend Scanner Project, which was presented at COP28.

I received my Bachelors degree in Statistics from Ramjas College - Delhi University, and my Masters Degree in Machine Learning from Plaksha University.
