[Right [world-view, knowledge, conduct]] is the path to liberation.
I’m a second-year Computer Science PhD student at Columbia University.
We are yet to build machines that adapt to new environments in real-time. Nature appears to have solved this millions of years ago. I’m figuring out which part of this problem is worth spending the next decade on. These are some of my explorations so far.
Outside my research, I get interested in pretty much anything. I love to learn and take notes as I go. I’m also trying to write more.
Before Columbia, I trained LLMs at AWS. And before that I studied at Carnegie Mellon and BITS Hyderabad. I’m very grateful for all the amazing people I’ve met along the way.
I’m currently in New York and grew up in Mumbai.
Please reach out if you’d like to chat about anything or if I can help you in any way. The best way is through email.

I’m thinking about:
- Measuring interestingness of mathematical abstractions to set up search in Lean for this
- (Roughly) Gradient-free methods for learning, such as Hebbian learning and in-context learning
- Learning type theory and Lean more rigorously
I’m reading Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Handbook by Epictetus and Reinforcement Learning by Sutton and Barto.
