PhD Student @ Arizona State University
Multimodal LLM Evaluation β’ Agentic Reasoning β’ Trustworthy AI
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Arizona State University, working with Dr. Vivek Gupta in the Complex Data Reasoning and Analysis (CoRAL) Lab.
My research focuses on personalized, explainable, and trustworthy evaluation for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). I study how agent-driven evaluation frameworks can adapt metrics to user intent and task context, while uncovering risks such as multimodal bias, visual misinterpretation, and cross-document reasoning failures.
Previously, I was a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe Research, where I worked on LLM-agent pipelines for holistic multimodal and multidocument understanding.
