Hey! Iā€™m Krithika, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Johns Hopkins Centre for Language and Speech Processing where Iā€™m advised by Dr. Anjalie Field. My research centers primarily on privacy and memorization in NLP, and other areas that are essential for the development of trustworthy NLP systems, such as interpretability and fairness.

Iā€™ve previously worked as a research intern at Microsoft Research India under the guidance of Dr. Sunayana Sitaram. Prior to this, I interned with the EzPC team at Microsoft Research India, and at the Indian School of Business, where I was mentored by Dr. Sumeet Kumar and Dr. Ashique KhudaBukhsh.

If youā€™re still reading this, you probably (maybe, hopefully) also want to know a little about me as a person. I run, I read (to some extent), I love video games (though I donā€™t play them as much anymore), specifically RPGs like Divinity Original Sin: II, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Iā€™ve even actually recently begun to learn to play the keyboard so that I can play the music from these games! Some of the podcasts that I think are fantastic are Unexplainable and Flash Forward (does this page sound more like an advert at this point?).

Iā€™m always open to discussion, so if you have any queries related to anything, or if thereā€™s any way I could help you, feel free to drop me a mail or contact me via Twitter!
