Biography

I am building AI agents to fast-track financial decision making at Finster AI.

Previously, I did a DPhil (PhD) in Machine Learning in the University of Oxford, advised by Professor Philip Torr in Torr Vision Group, Professor Yarin Gal in OATML and Dr. Puneet Dokania. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India and completed my Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science from the University of Oxford.

My research mainly focuses on methods to safely scale modern neural networks. I am also interested in AI agents and foundation models.
