I’m a PhD student at Mila - Quebec AI Institute and University of Montreal with Aishwarya Agrawal. I’m also a visiting researcher at Multimodal Foundation Models Team, ServiceNow Research with Sai Rajeswar.
Prior to Mila, I received an MSc in CS from University of Saskatchewan and BSc in CS from Noakhali Science and Technology University.
Research
Building AI systems that truly understand the physical world is an exciting frontier. My research focuses: (1) learning rich visual representations that capture the true structure of the world, and (2) developing controllable generative (diffusion) world models. This naturally connects to my interest in alignment and economic utility.
