Darshana Saravanan

I am Research Intern at Microsoft Research India where I am exploring AI for Science, under the mentorship of Dr. Navin Goyal. I recently completed my MS by Research in Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad, where I worked on understanding compositionality in Vision Language Models. I was advised by Dr. Vineet Gandhi and had the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Makarand Tapaswi and Dr. Naresh Manwani.
