About Me

I am Vishnu Sathwik, currently pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad. I am currently a member of the Precog research group at IIIT Hyderabad, working under the mentorship of Dr. Ponnurangam Kumarguru. My research focuses on large and small language models (LLMs and SLMs), with a particular intrest on enhancing their reasoning capabilities and multimodal understanding. I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI by developing systems that can think more intelligently and become increasingly context-aware across different modalities.

I have been fortunate to collaborate with experienced researchers during my academic journey. In summer 2024, I interned at the EMA Lab, IIT Dharwad, under the guidance of Dr. Konjengbam Anand and Mr. Rachit Verma, where I worked on NLP projects that expanded my understanding of AI applications. I also had the opportunity to attend the International Advanced Summer School on Natural Language Processing 2024, organized by the Language Technologies Research Center (LTRC) at IIIT Hyderabad. There, I contributed to fine-tuning models for headnote generation in judicial judgments.

As I move forward, my goal is to contribute to the development of AI systems that can reason and think beyond their training, making AI more capable of complex problem-solving across multiple modalities.
