Hey there, I'm Chainesh, and I recently graduated from Lovely Professional University in 2023.  My roots lie in Balaghat, an enchanting city in Madhya Pradesh, India, renowned for its abundant manganese reserves. In my free time, you'll often find me nose-deep in history and philosophy books, exploring the fascinating past and contemplating life's mysteries. On other days, I enjoy diving into the world of programming, tinkering with codes and building cool stuff. But that's not all! I'm also a bit of a gamer, and I love getting lost in the immersive worlds of Role Playing games.  As for my AI interests, I've been fascinated by the possibilities of Computer Vision techniques for Drones Tracking. However, my real passion lies in Reinforcement Learning. This exciting field captivates me because it allows AI systems to learn and adapt from their experiences, just like we humans do. I can't wait to see where my journey in Reinforcement Learning takes me and how I can use this technology to make a positive impact on our ever-changing world!

I am a MS (Research) student in Computer Science, currently part of the Web Science Lab (http://wsl.iiitb.ac.in/) at IIIT Bangalore. Previously, I worked as an Associate Consultant in KPMG. I like to work in problems which span the areas of Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, Planning/ Knowledge Representation, Graph Theory and Optimization. I am passionate about animal conservation and have performed some volunteering assignments on the same. In my free time, I play badminton or usually get lost in the hills around Bangalore.

I am an iMtech student at IIIT Bangalore. I have previously worked on dynamical systems at CCSMP, IIITB and on multi-agent modelling for economic policy analysis. My interests mainly lie in modelling human intelligence, behaviour, and autonomy through multi-agent frameworks and an understanding of biological complex systems. I aim to build novel AI architectures geared towards AGI.

Raghuram Bharadwaj received his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, in 2022. His main research interests are in the areas of Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Game theory, and Multi-agent learning. He received the best student paper award at the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) 2022 in Padova, Italy. His Ph.D. thesis focuses on developing reinforcement learning algorithms to solve off-policy, multi-agent problems and apply these algorithms to the smart grid setup. He received a special commendation certification in recognition of an outstanding doctoral thesis from the Department of Computer Science and Automation (CSA), IISc.  Before joining IIIT Bangalore, he was the senior data scientist at Myntra Designs Ltd., Bangalore, India, from November 2021 to November 2022.
