Summary
Arpit Bansal is a research scientist with a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and nine years of industry and academic experience focused on image synthesis and algorithmic neural network design. He has published at NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and CVPR and has applied his research in internships and roles at Meta (vision encoder for image reasoning and high-precision editing), AWS AI Labs (text-to-image synthesis), and now Google. His work spans diffusion and autoregressive models for text-to-image generation, bridging cutting-edge research with production-minded implementation. Trained at IIT Kharagpur and UMD, he pairs strong theoretical grounding (3.925 GPA in his PhD) with practical engineering experience from enterprise roles at Visa. An underappreciated thread in his profile is repeated success translating novel research into applied systems across both cloud and product-focused teams.
