CS × AI/ML AT IIITS

Sai Teja Ala

Hi! I like ML research, foundation models, and AI for scientific discovery. I’ve worked on problems spanning foundation models, clinical AI, and computational neuroscience. Long term, I want to build intelligent systems that can reason, discover, and help accelerate scientific progress.
