hey, i'm nishit. i study physics and engineering at the birla institute of technology and science (bits), pilani, graduating next year. i want to help make ai a net positive for humanity.
i am currently a research fellow under sushrut thorat and paras chopra, where i work on understanding the foundations of safe ai. through my involvment with dr. kokil jaidka at the national university of singapore (nus) in early 2026, i have been interested in trustworthy machine learning frameworks. i've also previously been associated with the csir national thin film laboratory (summer research intern), postman and the kalipatnapu extended reality lab, and have had the privilege to be guided by the mechanical engineering department, bits pilani, in my exploits studying finite element methods. in what seems like another life, i worked with pieds, bits pilani as a student founder.
ive also found joy working with the film-making club (fmac) and the cinema and literature club (matrix) at bits.
i try to write about what i find interesting on my blog. i am not a very good author. read here.
