Vizuara AI Labs
Principal Investigator: Dr. Sreedath Panat (MIT PhD) & Dr. Raj Dandekar (MIT PhD)

Conducting research across two distinct verticals: Scientific Machine Learning (SciML), where I integrate physics priors with AI for design optimization, and Generative AI, where I focus on hallucination detection and reliability in LLMs for non-physical domains like healthcare.
