I am interested in the theory of
Deep Learning using methods from theoretical physics, applied maths, and ideas from neuroscience; as well as an understanding of
quantum and statistical field theories, and quantum systems, via Neural Network architectures and learning dynamics. I have worked on
correspondences between Quantum Field Theory, the framework for theoretical particle
physics, and Neural Networks, the backbones for Deep Learning.
I completed my PhD in theoretical high energy
physics group at Northeastern U. in Apr 2023,
supervised by Prof. Jim Halverson. My PhD dissertation included establishing
one of the very first correspondences between Neural Network ensembles and Quantum Field Theories on Euclidean Background.
This bridge provides us
an alternative path to study Field Theories via Neural Network architectures, without learning or optimization techniques.
I have been a junior investigator
at the NSF IAIFI, from Oct 2020 until Aug 2023. .
I received my Bachelors and Masters in Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay in Aug 2017.
Curriculum Vitae
Outreach
I am passionate about promoting equity for underrepresented minorities in STEM.
To that end, I was a member of the Early Career and Equity Committee at IAIFI,
and Graduate Students Council of Northeastern University
College of Science, during 2020 - 2022. Additionally, I started monthly meetings and networking activities for
Graduate Women in Physics at Northeastern University Dept of Physics, since 2021.
I'm driven by the need of better education opportunities for women and minorities, from grass-roots to graduate level, especially in poorer, war-torn economies.
I have joined the Artificial Intelligence Summer School organizing committee, at
Scientists for Palestine, since Jan 2023.
Sometimes, I take part in STEM outreach programs for high school students, such as the ones organized by
A Wonder of Women in STEM. I look forward to a future, where children of any age, color, race, gender, and economic background are provided
with ample opportunities for their education.
