I'm an MS student at CMU in the Machine Learning Department. I've dabbled around in several applications of ML during my undergraduate (Audio, Vision, Health, Drug Discovery, etc.), these days I'm spending time catching up on Diffusion, Geometric DL and Materials Science applications.
Somehow, I have an Erdős number of 4. Paul Erdős -> Endre Szemerédi -> Wolfgang Maass -> Anand Subramoney -> Karan Bania[GitHub] [Medium] [CV] [Google Scholar]
I graduated with a bachelor's in CS at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, where I was truly fortunate to have been mentored by Ashwin Srinivasan and Tanmay Verlekar. I spent an amazing summer in 2024 at Rühr-Universitat Bochum, as a DAAD WISE Scholar, where I got to work with even more amazing people: David Kappel, Mark Schöne and Anand Subramoney. More recently, I did my undergraduate thesis at Gan.AI, where I worked on Audio ML, I am grateful to have been advised by Suvrat Bhooshan. I hail from a (small?) town called Jamnagar in western Gujarat.
