Linguistics & Biophysics Researcher
Laboratory Learning Program · Dept. of Physics · Dr. Jason Puchalla
Incoming DS freshman at UC Berkeley, Fall 2026.
Co-founder of Segmentum AI. Spun out from research at Princeton Physics with faculty. Reinventing few-shot segmentation.
Research across deep generative models, info-theoretic learning, compbio. Currently into rl and computer-use agents.
Prev. Researcher @ Princeton Physics, NYU, MILA, Stanford's AIMI Center, NJIT, IIT Madras, and funded by US Air Force Research Laboratory.A few results I'm proud of: papers at AAAI, ICLR, ACS, CI CRC, the UN AI for Good Global Summit; Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholar.
I've been playing Carnatic flute for twelve years 🪈
As of June 2026
Princeton Physics Lab — novel few-shot tumor segmentation model work under Dr. Jason Puchalla. Co-founding a startup around the underlying IP. Research filed for IP rights.
NYU & MILA — building normalizing flow datasets with Prof. Ravid Shwartz-Ziv. arXiv preprint out.
NJIT SCIIS Lab — reinforcement learning for robotic navigation and semantic segmentation. Paper accepted at the ASCE Construction Research Congress.
Stevens / AFRL — year two of the Air Force Research Lab's National SDR Challenge. Line-of-Sight MIMO and spatial multiplexing.
Starting at Berkeley in August.

The most interesting problems don't announce themselves as such.
Research taught me that being wrong quickly is a feature, not a bug.
More here eventually.
