I am a final year PhD student in Computing and Information Science at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), working with Prof. Rui Li in the Lab of Use-Inspired Computational Intelligence (LUCI). Before starting my PhD, I completed my undergraduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Pulchowk Campus, IOE, Nepal.

Research

My research spans the areas of Bayesian Methods, Graph Learning, Diffusion Generative Models, and Vision-Language Models (VLMs). My works include developing Bayesian model selection frameworks for generative models (VAEs) and graph learning, and visual token compression algorithm for VLMs. Currently, I am focused on designing efficient algorithms to improve the inference speed of diffusion- and flow-based generative models.
