Pushpa Kumar Balan

I’m a second year master's student in Computer Science at the University of Central Missouri.

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.
