I’m a Computer Science PhD candidate at Stony Brook University. My research topics are NLP applications, mobile systems, and edge computing. More recently, I focus on building efficient NLP applications (on-device question answering, faster Transformers) for both edge and cloud. I’m a member of NetSys Lab directed by Prof. Aruna Balasubramanian. I also work closely with Prof. Niranjan Balasubramanian.
