Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKrishna K is a Ph.D. research assistant based in California with 11 years of engineering experience focused on robotics, reinforcement learning, NLP, and computer vision. At Santa Clara University he develops speech-driven robot interaction systems and novel graph neural network policies trained with PPO for patient-robot co-navigation—work that has led to publications and a Best Paper Award. His background spans industry (AMD co-op), telecom field engineering, and applied research projects at IISc and CU Boulder, where he built practical tooling from access-card analytics to time-series wrappers. Comfortable bridging theory and production, he’s fascinated by the math behind deep learning and routinely implements end-to-end solutions that move from models to deployed systems. Notably, his NSF-funded speech-intent architecture leverages Vosk with transformer models to enable hands-free robotic interaction in clinical settings.
