What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in AI research, particularly in environmental applications.

I am currently a PhD scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, specializing in Management Studies. My academic journey has been enriched by a multidisciplinary background in environmental engineering, which I pursued during my M.Tech at the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra. With a CGPA of 8.20, I have developed a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering, particularly in environmental systems.

My research experience includes significant contributions to sustainable supply chain management and smart city initiatives. I have presented my findings at various conferences, where I designed analytical frameworks for measuring greenhouse gas emissions and developed models for optimizing water distribution systems. My work has not only honed my analytical skills but also equipped me with the ability to translate complex problems into actionable strategies.

As I seek to contribute to cutting-edge AI research at Scale AI as a Human Frontier Collective Fellow, I bring a problem-solving mindset and a collaborative spirit. I am passionate about crafting and evaluating complex, domain-specific problems to enhance the robustness of generative AI models, and I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic research environment.
