Hello!
I am a Computational Social Science researcher and a final-year Ph.D. candidate at LCS2 Lab, IIIT Delhi working on NLP, where I am advised by Dr. Md. Shad Akhtar and Dr. Tanmoy Chakraborty. My research focuses on conversational systems, particularly using LLMs to develop methods for dialogue/user modeling, controlled text generation, and summarization for applications like virtual counseling and online human behavior analysis. With 8+ publications in top-tier venues such as KDD, WWW, EMNLP, WSDM, and JMIR, I look at problems from psycholinguistic lens to understand how humans interact and behave online.News and Updates
