M.Tech Research, CSA · IISc Bangalore
I work on the foundations of intelligent agents: reinforcement learning, large language models, and multi-agent systems. Currently a Research Scholar at IISc and an AI Researcher at cmul8, where I build societies of AI agents to transform industries at scale.
Open to research collaborations and interesting problems.
// background
Working on non-stationary RL and preference changes in LLMs through the lens of RL.
GPA: 8.69 / 10.0

Investigated whether evaluation awareness is encoded in LLM activations using linear probes and controlled interventions. Showed that strong benchmark performance largely reflects dataset-specific artifacts rather than true evaluation awareness.
Built a multi-agent security system with sandboxed autonomous reproduction, verifiable action provenance, and human-in-the-loop approval workflows.
Studied correlated errors in LLM committees. Five-agent committees provide only 1.2–1.8 effective independent voters, motivating a cheaper calibration-based committee strategy.
Studying internal representations and hidden-state dynamics of DRQN agents in partially observable environments.
Worked at the intersection of drone programming and computer vision for agricultural purposes: drone navigation, anomaly detection, and task automation.
