Suguman Bansal
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Techology. Previously, I was an NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Pennsylvania, mentored by Rajeev Alur. I completed Ph.D at Rice University, advised by Moshe Y. Vardi.
I am broadly interested in Formal Methods and Logic, and their applications to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Programming Languages. The long-term reserach goal is to build Trustworthy AI by simplifying the design-development-deployment pipeline of safe and reliable AI systems. My current research thrusts include:
I have open positions for interns, graduate students (PhDs and Masters) and postdocs.
Please Apply To GaTech and get in touch if you are interested in
(a) Theory and applications of Formal Methods,
(b) (Deep) Reinforcement Learning, and/or
(c) Automata and Logical Methods.
Check out our Reseach Statement. Please send me your CV, if interested.
