Rishab Balasubramanian

I am a second year PhD student at Virginia Tech, advised by Tu Vu. My research interests lie at the intersection of deep learning, language modeling, eﬀiciency and alignment. Previously, I worked with Huazheng Wang on adversarial attacks on bandit algorithms and the impact of ordering in recommendation systems. Long long ago, I completed my Bachelor's (B.Tech) from the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirapalli (NIT-Trichy), India, where I was a part of RMI, the robotics club.
