I am currently working under the guidance of Dr. Subhankar Mishra in the field of machine learning and its applications in Biology. I am specifically interested in topics like Gene Regulation and Feature Extraction from the Genome. Currently, I am working on Representation Learning for Cancer Genomics. I am also working on large language models, and their scalability to long range sequences for applications such as ultra-long genomics.

I am passionate about web and software development. I love to spend my time programming and building web applications. Network security is also something of my interest.
