Hello! I'm a research scientist working on generative video and reward modeling. Most recently, at SpaceXSI (formerly xAI), I led evaluation for Grok Imagine and shipped Video 1.0 and Video 1.5.
Before that, I headed the research team at Avataar, working on LLM distillation, diffusion models, and 3D reconstruction.
I'm currently exploring my next role in robotics, LLMs/VLMs, and world models. Feel free to reach out!
I received my PhD from UC Berkeley under the guidance of Jitendra Malik and Angjoo Kanazawa, and my undergrad from IIT Bombay. I also spent some time at Facebook AI Research during grad school, and at TU Darmstadt and IST Austria during undergrad.
