About Me

I am a PhD student in the Responsible Computing group under the supervision of Dr. Asia J. Biega at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP).

My research examines ownership frameworks in Generative AI (GenAI) systems. Currently, my research is focused on investigating whether the objectives of copyright law corroborate with its applications in the GenAI systems.

My research interests rest at the intersection of law and technology, an amalgamation of my computer science, law, and public policy background. I also collaborate with computer science, psychology, and social science scholars for my research.
