I am a fifth-year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. In the past, I worked on my Bachelors Thesis on improving cross-jurisdiction legal text summarization with Prof Matthias Grabmair of the Technical University of Munich and Prof Saptarshi Ghosh of IIT Kharagpur. I’ve also worked with Dr Melina Vidoni of the Australian National University on generating developer-friendly parameter docstrings for Python code, and with Dr Fatemeh Fard of the University of British Columbia on reproducing the pre-training codes for CodeBERT and GraphCodeBERT.

Additionally, I am an Executive Editor at The Scholars’ Avenue, the student-run media body of IIT Kharagpur, and an active member of the Quiz Club at IIT Kharagpur.
