Hi, I am Saikiran, a Computer Science MSc student at ETH Zürich. 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 interning at
- 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 passionate about carnatic music and cycling. I also like reading, writing, and playing table tennis.
