MSc CS student at D-INFK, ETH Zürich
Zürich, Switzerland
Hi, I am Saikiran, a Computer Science MSc student at ETH Zürich. My focus is on Visual Computing and Machine Learning, and I am currently doing my master’s thesis at Disney Research Studios, working on rendering and generative AI.
I completed my undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2022. In my bachelor’s thesis, I worked with Prof. Preethi Jyothi and Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan on self-supervised multimodal learning.
I’ve had the pleasure of working at the following places:
- Egonym AG, working on anonymizing faces using diffusion models
- Microsoft, working on classifying Bing ads
- Abacus.ai, working on explainable recommender systems
- ENS Paris-Saclay with Prof. Alain Finkel, working on formal methods
I am currently looking for full-time Machine Learning opportunities! I am excited by the myriad applications in computer vision and graphics opened up by advances in machine learning and AI. Feel free to check out my resume and drop me an email if you want to chat!
I love being outdoors, especially cycling. I also pursue carnatic music and enjoy reading. I occasionally write, usually about my bike adventures.
