Research Experience

Graduate Researcher, Montclair State University
2024 – Present
Uncertainty Quantification for Clinical LLMs, Software Systems Lab (PI: Dr. Vaibhav Anu)
2026 – Present
  • Designed MAUQ-CLIP, the first black-box LLM uncertainty framework to treat missing evidence as an uncertainty signal, raising accuracy from 94.0% to 98.5% and cutting calibration error by 88% on SEER uterine cancer records.
Clinical Hallucination Detection with Coverage-Gated Ontology Checks, Data Science Lab (PI: Dr. Hao Liu)
2026 – Present
  • Ran the held-out contamination experiment, deleting the facts that generated half the benchmark claims and re-scoring to separate reasoning gains from retrieval of the answer key.
  • Served as one of two annotators on a 110-claim clinical label review (Cohen’s kappa 0.966), identifying 6.4% of labels as context-dependent.
Generative Reconstruction of Sparse Scientific Data (Best Paper Award, IEEE UEMCON 2025)
2024 – 2025
  • Co-developed GANterpolate, a hybrid U-Net GAN and interpolation framework cutting temperature RMSE from 6.84 to 5.37 on ERA5, then extended it (GANterpolate+) across agriculture, energy, healthcare and finance, beating both baselines in all five domains.

Teaching and Professional Experience

Professional Tutor and Technical Administration, School of Computing, Montclair State University
Fall 2026
  • Supporting CSIT 598 Machine Learning, CSIT 559 Generative AI, CSIT 696 Research Methods and CSIT 697 Master’s Project.
Technical Administrator, CoChair, Cephgate LLC and Montclair State University
May 2026 – Present
  • Developing CoChair, an AI assistant in the Gmail sidebar that helps faculty triage student requests, retrieve the applicable institutional policies, and draft recommended replies; piloted with the Biology Department.
  • Improved policy retrieval over a Qdrant vector store (email-as-query search, relative selection, precedence and recency rules), built reply redrafting on faculty overrides, and built the policy management screen on Firestore.
Graduate Assistant, Teaching Assistant, Montclair State University
Aug 2024 – Jan 2026
  • Taught 450+ students across 15 course sections; authored the laboratory assignments, held 20 office hours weekly, and reported performance trends to faculty to inform grading standards.
Software Developer, ADP, Hyderabad, India
Jun 2022 – Dec 2023
  • Built Client Central, an internal onboarding platform, cutting onboarding initialization time by 60%. React and TypeScript front end, Java and Spring Boot microservices with Kafka; owned CI/CD across AWS, Jenkins and Docker.
