I'm an MS student at CMU in the Machine Learning Department. I'm broadly interested in Deep Learning. Outside of work, I love watching SNL (and now also SNL UK). Somehow, I have an Erdős number of 4 Paul Erdős -> Endre Szemerédi -> Wolfgang Maass -> Anand Subramoney -> Karan Bania. My favorite font is Verdana.
I was an AI Scientist intern in summer 2026 at Mistral AI in the Audio team where I co-developed the Streaming and Offline transcription models in Voxtral v3. At CMU, I did some research trying to improve antidistillation sampling. Before that, I graduated with a B.E. at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, in the CS & IS department in 2025. While at BITS, I was the President of SAiDL, the AI club on campus. I also spent an amazing summer in 2024 at Rühr-Universität Bochum, as a DAAD WISE Scholar. Soon after that, I did my undergraduate thesis at Gan.AI, where I worked on Audio ML. I am grateful to have been mentored by several amazing researchers (listed here in a chronological order), Ashwin Srinivasan, Tanmay Verlekar, David Kappel, Mark Schöne, Anand Subramoney, Bharath Ramsundar, Suvrat Bhooshan, Yash Savani, Zico Kolter, and Sanchit Gandhi. I hail from a (small?) town called Jamnagar in western Gujarat.
