Hi, welcome to my page! I am Megh. I am a research master’s student at Université de Montréal and a research assistant at MILA - Quebec AI Institute, supervised by Prof. Sarath Chandar. I am broadly interested in Natural Language Processing, particularly in dialogue systems, question-answering systems, and conversational AI. Prior to joining MILA, I was a pre-doctoral researcher in the NLU team of Partha at Google Research India. I graduated in computer science with distinction from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani.
Alongside AI, I am an avid traveler. I have been to 25 countries and counting. I also love playing badminton and am a novice drummer :)
