Namaste World! 👋🏼 I'm Rushiraj

[ ]

My research work lives at the crossroads of Human-AI Interaction (HAX), AI Safety, and Reinforcement Learning. I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from Plaksha University.

My work submissions are targeting A/A* venues such as CHI, UIST, AAAI and other conferences and journals. Apart from research, I'm also an enthusiastic advocate for open source and an active contributor to its vibrant community.

I am also the Founder of Housify (TechSurf Solutions).

Eager to explore new ideas, build stuff and make an impact through innovation!
