Saurav Panigrahi

Research Engineer / Realist

I work on Large Language Models at Zoho.

Prev, I used to work on using RL for DB Autotuning and Query Optimisation. Read about it **here.**

Currently, my research interests focus on building trustworthy AI through the intersection of:

→ statistical post-training methods for alignment and uncertainty quantification,

→ neuro-symbolic systems for faithful reasoning, verification, and interpretability.

I am also studying the different ways we can look at the impact of data distribution on large model training.

I consider myself a hardcore realist to the point that I have come up with a Realist’s Manifesto.

I maintain a list of my favorite blogs on systems, machine learning and meta engineering. Access it **here.** There is also a reading list (of books) I have partially read, or I want to read. Access the reading list **here.**
