Hi, I'm Richa Agrawal

PhD Scholar(AI/ML) | Former Assistant Professor(CSE)

I spend my days teaching machines to understand humans—and humans to understand machines.

By profession, I'm a PhD researcher. By passion, I'm an educator. Somewhere in between, you'll find me experimenting with transformers, debugging neural networks, mentoring students, reading research papers, and occasionally wondering why a model that trained perfectly yesterday suddenly refuses to cooperate today.
My interests revolve around Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Generative AI, and Multimodal AI. I enjoy building intelligent systems, simplifying complex concepts, and exploring ideas that sit at the intersection of research and real-world impact.
Curiosity drives everything I do. If there's something I don't know today, chances are I'm already learning it tomorrow.

Research Interests

Natural Language Processing & Deep Learning

My research explores how deep neural networks enable machines to understand, process and generate human language. I am interested in transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, language modeling, representation learning, text generation, summarization, and other NLP applications.

Transformers Attention Language Models Text Generation Deep Learning

Generative & Multimodal AI

I am fascinated by large language models and multimodal systems capable of understanding and generating information across text, images and other modalities. My interests include Vision-Language Models, Multimodal Learning, Prompt Engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and emerging Generative AI techniques.
