researcher at the intersection of stochastic modeling,
discrete mathematics, and natural language processing.
building systems that understand structure.
I'm a fifth-year student at the Illinois Institute of Technology studying applied mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence. My work lives at the intersection of mathematical structure and language. I use stochastic modeling, graph theory, and NLP to understand complex systems, from modeling groundwater markets to preserving under-resourced languages.
Growing up across cultures gave me fluency in English, Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Spanish, and Arabic, and a deep curiosity about how languages encode meaning differently. That curiosity drives my passion for NLP and my interest in low-resource language preservation. Outside of academics, I produce electronic music, study South Asian history and philosophy, and am always picking up a new language.
I'm currently a research assistant working on groundwater rights modeling with Dr. Igor Cialenco. I'm seeking opportunities where I can apply generative AI, stochastic modeling, and data science to real-world problems.
