May 13, 2025 Super excited to announce I’ll be joining Amazon Kumo, AWS in Bellevue, WA, as an Applied Science Intern! I’ll be working with Radhika Bhargava, Anwesan Pal and Yue Zhang, focusing on a very exciting challenge: developing continual learning algorithms for large language models. We’ll be researching strategies using parameter-efficient fine-tuning to allow for scalable lifelong adaptation using regularized low-rank adapter updates via cross-task subspace decorrelation. I’m incredibly excited to get started on this research, which will form the basis of the ELLA project. 🎉
Mar 17, 2025 Our new work on efficient video understanding has been accepted to WACV 2026! The paper, Learning Unified Spatio-temporal Representations for Efficient Compressed Video Understanding, proposes a lightweight framework that learning video representations directly from compressed videos. This avoids the need for decompression and achieves state-of-the-art performance with up to 15x faster inference! 🎉
Dec 09, 2024 My latest outing with Amazon Fashion with our internship paper, PIXELS on a framework for progressive reference image-driven editing with T2I models, to enable customization by providing granular control over edits and democratizing professional-grade edits for a wider audience got accepted at AAAI 2025! 🎉
May 06, 2024 Thrilled to announce I’m joining Amazon Fashion in Sunnyvale as an Applied Science Intern! I’ll be working with Prateek Singhal and Matthew Shreve on a super exciting challenge: designing new diffusion-model-based tools for image editing. We’re hoping to find ways to give users granular, pixel-level control and allow them to draw inspiration from multiple reference images to create their perfect custom image using off-the-shelf image diffusion models. This problem is the exact inspiration for PIXELS, a project I’m passionate about, and I can’t wait to dive in and start building! 🎉
Oct 13, 2023 I’m happy to share that our paper, HALSIE: Hybrid Approach to Learning Segmentation by Simultaneously Exploiting Image and Event Modalities, was accepted to the ICCV 2023 workshop! 🎉 I had a great time presenting this work, which shows how a hybrid SNN+ANN approach can achieve highly efficient multi-modal learning.
