Pushpa Kumar Balan

I’m a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Central Missouri, advised by Prof. Aijing Feng, currently working on Bioinformatics + Gen AI.

My research interests include multimodal models (e.g., vision, language, and speech), RL agents, and Gen AI, with a focus on improving inference, optimization, and scalability. I am interested in extending these models to cross-disciplinary domains.

I’m also keen on challenges in representation learning, causal reasoning, and developing trustworthy, efficient, and interpretable AI systems.

I’m open to research collaborations and happy to discuss potential projects. Feel free to reach out.
