Namaste 🙏. I am a second-year undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics along with a minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
At Vanderbilt, I am actively engaged in research with the Huang Lab, under the mentorship of Prof. Yu Huang and Yifan Zhang. I am also part of the Vanderbilt AI Negotiation Lab, collaborating with Prof. Ray Friedman. Currently, I am working on a new research project aimed at advancing the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs).
Beyond academics, I co-founded and lead NPL Coder, fostering computational innovation in Nepal by mentoring students, providing resources, organizing Olympiads, and working to secure Nepal’s membership in the IOI. I also co-founded Uunchai, providing underprivileged communities with skills in STEM and the humanities.
