I am an independent researcher, and at present, my research focus is computational decision-making and human bias. I earned my PhD in Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Modeling from the ANSK School of Information Technology at IIT Delhi. In my dissertation, I primarily studied linguistic structures and syntactic preferences using corpus-based and behavioural methods, and developed cognitively motivated computational models to account for comprehension and production processes in Hindi, an SOV language. I am broadly interested in the mixture of computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, and cognitive science.

In the past, I held postdoctoral position at the Institute of Linguistics, University of Stuttgart, Germany for nearly 2.5 years, where my research focus was cross-linguistic generalization and linguistic typology. In addition to my academic employment, I also served as a Senior Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace in Bangalore for nearly 2 years, where I was responsible for developing software to test electrical hardware and circuits in cockpit systems viz., communication devices and display screens. Prior to that, I received Dual Degree, B.Tech in Electrical Engineering, and M.Tech in Information and Communication Technology from IIT Delhi. During my undergrad, I also took a minor degree worth of courses in Linguistics for credit (20 credits; 5 courses and 1 minor project). Subsequently, for my Master's thesis, I focused on developing computational models of Hindi word order. This work became the basis of my PhD dissertation later on. Finally, I also have a formal training in Hindustani classical music with a BA degree in Tabla (a percussion instrument) from Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahabad.
