Anuj Tiwari

Undergraduate Researcher

DP.jpg

Based in Delhi, India

Pre-final year B.Tech undergrad in Artificial Intelligence at Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology, researching multilingual multimodal systems with external collaborators. I’m driven by the ambition to create real-world impact through technology and I believe rapid experimentation and hands-on execution is the way to go. As an Independent Researcher at ML Collective, I serve as lead/first author on multiple workshop submissions (EACL, LREC, ACL), driving problem formulation, experimental design, implementation, and manuscript preparation, while mentoring junior collaborators on research-driven mini-projects through peer supervision.

Open to research internships and collaborative research opportunities.
