Since September 2022, I have held the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), India. Additionally, I serve as an associate faculty member at the Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence, IIT Delhi. I am an ACM Distinguished Speaker (2023-2025). I was a Ramanujan Fellow from 2018-2023. Before joining IIT Delhi, I served as an Assistant Professor (May 2017 - Dec 2021) and an Associate Professor (Jan 2022 - Sep 2022) in the Dept of CSE, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT Delhi), India. I also served as the head of the Infosys Centre for AI (CAI) at IIIT Delhi before joining IIT Delhi. I obtained my PhD as a Google PhD scholar from the Dept. of CSE, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in September 2015. Following this, I joined the University of Maryland, College Park, as a Postdoctoral Researcher. My broad research interests include Natural Language Processing, Graph Neural Networks, and Social Computing. My current research primarily focuses on enriching frugal language models (reasoning, knowledge grounding, prompting, editing, etc.) and applying them to various applications such as mental health and Cyber-informatics.

I established and lead the Laboratory for Computational Social Systems (LCS2) research group.
