About Me
I'm an ELLIS PhD student at The Max Planck Institute for Informatics at Saarland University and The University of Edinburgh, advised by Prof. Vera Demberg and Prof. Timothy Hospedales. Before this, I worked at Micron Technology as a Data Scientist after completing my MSc. in Data Science from Chennai Mathematical Institute. I had the opportunity to collaborate with eminent researchers like Prof. Sriparna Saha, Prof. Ponnurangam Kumaraguru and Prof. Adam Jatowt on multimodal learning, model augmentation and temporal understanding of LLMs (details).
My present research involves deciphering the intentions conveyed by combining language and visuals, wherein an individual modality might convey a different meaning altogether. I'm also interested in the fusion mechanisms of VLMs, multi-modal evaluation and jailbreaking.
