I’m Rohit K Bharadwaj, a second year grad student pursuing MSc Machine Learning at MBZUAI, Abu Dhabi, UAE. I will be graduating in June 2024.
I have experience working in Android Development, Deep Learning, and on various Computer Vision, and NLP research projects.
I’m motivated to contribute towards the development of AI, and more specifically Computer Vision technologies, so that they can be deployed more widely in the real world, and help people in their day-to-day lives. I believe that AI can help level the playing field for everyone, and bridge the existing socio-economic gaps in our society.
I have a good mix of research and development experience. Thus, I firmly believe that I can contribute to the advancement of research and implement the technology for end-users.
I’ve mostly worked on Biometrics, Topic Modelling, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Object Detection, and Large Language Models (LLMs).
