About Me

My name is Abhinav Anand. Welcome to my page. I am a doctoral candidate at Software Technology Group, TU Darmstadt. I am being supervised by Mira Mezini. I work on LLMs for Software Engineering with a focus on efficent architecture (SSMs) and alignment (RLVR).

I did my master at Indian Institute of Technology (Hyderabad), India where I worked with Dr. Sumohana S. Channappayya as a member of LFOVIA research group. During my masters, I worked on autonomous vehicles and their performance in adverse weather conditions. The work is funded by TiHAN, IIT Hyderabad.

I graduated from National Institute of Technology (Hamirpur, H.P), India with B.Tech in Electronics and Communications.

My research interests include efficient AI, trustworthy and robust models, AI safety. Previously, I have also worked on Computer Vision, autonomous navigation, digital circuit design and FPGAs.

What's here?

Nothing Yet. But I am intending to write about

• AI/ML robustness and safety
• Some Details of work I do and publish
• Random topics I come across and find interesting

What else?

I use python for most of my academic work. But I have also tried Rust, Julia and Javasctipt. I also learnt Verilog for digital circuit design.

I like reading books (suggest something nice you have read recently), sports (football is my favourite), travelling.

I use Linux (Pop! OS) and prefer using open source software over proprietary ones.

The website doesn't store any cookies and neither uses any analytics tools to track the users that visit the website. Though, I am thinking of implementing a basic, privacy-respecting analytics tool to obtain some non-identifiable data about visitors. If I do that, I will mention that here and write a blog explaing how I implemented that. And I will open source the tool for transparency and others to use.
