About me

I am Adithya Giridharan, a passionate Data Scientist and GenAI Engineer currently working at Karini AI, with a strong background in RAG/GraphRAG systems, LLMs, and cloud technologies. I hold an MTech in Data Science and Analytics from IIIT Prayagraj and am actively pursuing PhD opportunities to advance my research in machine learning.

Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of:

• Reinforcement Learning for Sports Analytics: Exploring how RL can optimize game strategies and player performance analysis
• Large Language Models: Advancing RAG systems, agentic workflows, and multimodal AI applications
• Graph Machine Learning: Leveraging knowledge graphs and graph neural networks for complex relationship modeling

Professional Background

I bring practical experience from building production ML/AI systems at Mercedes Benz R&D and HSBC, with expertise in:

• End-to-end RAG/GraphRAG pipelines using Neo4j, OpenSearch, and AWS Bedrock
• LLM-based document processing and intelligent extraction systems
• Computer vision applications for automotive diagnostics
• Credit risk analytics and decision science applications

Transition to Research

While my professional experience spans industry applications, I am passionate about transitioning to academic research to explore fundamental questions in ML/AI. My goal is to contribute to cutting-edge research while maintaining strong connections to practical applications.

I am actively seeking PhD opportunities where I can combine my technical expertise with rigorous research methodology to advance the field of machine learning.
