I am a Ph.D. student at Caltech advised by Prof. Georgia Gkioxari and Prof. Pietro Perona.
Previously, I was a student researcher at the MIT–IBM Watson AI Lab, pretraining large language models and doing research on vision–language models with Dr. Rameswar Panda, Dr. Rogerio Feris, and Prof. Yoon Kim. I completed a dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) at IIT Kharagpur, where I worked in the Computer Vision and Intelligence Research Lab under Prof. Abir Das.
In Summer 2021, I worked with Prof. Kate Saenko (Boston University) and Prof. Trevor Darrell (UC Berkeley) as a research intern for the DARPA LwLL project.
My research focuses on building multimodal foundation models that perceive, reason, and interact in 3D environments. I am particularly interested in developing unified representations that bridge geometry, vision, and language-guided systems that can understand spatial relationships, engage in grounded conversations, and perform complex reasoning tasks. My work spans 3D tokenization for sequential modeling, conversational visual understanding, and parameter-efficient adaptation of large models. Ultimately, I aim to advance embodied AI systems that can robustly interpret and act within real-world environments to benefit society.
Conversational Image Segmentation (CIS) grounds abstract, intent-oriented concepts that require relational reasoning, physical understanding, and implicit constraints.
We present a unified LLM that aligns language, images, and structured 3D scenes, demonstrating applications in rendering, recognition, instruction following, and 3D QA.
A semi-supervised prompt learning framework leveraging unlabeled data to improve VLM adaptation via cross-model consistency.
We propose a domain-alignment approach with switchable depth, width, and input resolution to realize accuracy–efficiency trade-offs under different constraints.
We introduce a dataset repair strategy combining a classifier with a GAN to augment minority-class examples.
