Abhishek is a 5th year PhD student at MIT interested in designing new machine learning techniques to make them applicable to real world constraints. He is interested in the science and engineering of complex adaptive systems. The central question guiding his research is - how can we (algorithmically) engineer the principles of self-organization to build anti-fragile systems. He has co-authored multiple papers and built systems in machine learning, digital health, data privacy, and distributed computing. Before joining MIT, Abhishek worked with Cisco for 2 years where he did research in AutoML and Machine Learning for systems.
