I am a senior researcher in the Deep Learning team at Microsoft Research, Redmond.
Before that I was a PhD student in Computer Science at MIT advised by Prof. Armando Solar-Lezama.
My research interests are in Artificial Intelligence and Program Synthesis. I develop neurosymbolic approaches for learning models that are interpretable and generalizable.
