Kushagra Pandey

Hi, I am currently a third year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine advised by Stephan Mandt. My research is currently supported by the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.

I recently completed a summer internship at the GenAIR group at NVIDIA where I worked with Arash Vahdat and Morteza Mardani. Previously, I was a graduate student in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur advised by Piyush Rai where I also collaborated with Abhishek Kumar and Hamim Zafar.

My current research interests broadly lie in the study of Deep Generative Models. I am primarily interested in the theory and applications of iterative refinement models (diffusion/interpolants/flow matching models) and their applications for diverse practical and scientific applications.
