@bsudharshan2001
Ph.D. researcher at University of South Florida, working in the SPRAI Lab with Dr. Ning Wang. My current work focuses on AI safety and alignment.
I work on large language models, unlearning, and agentic systems: how they retain information, follow intent, fail under pressure, and can be made more reliable.
Before the Ph.D., I finished my Master's at USF and worked across security, federated learning, and applied NLP. Outside of research, I watch football (the European kind), catch F1 races, and keep a few side projects alive.
