Ayan Kashyap

I’m an MS by Research student at IIIT Hyderabad, working with Vineet Gandhi. My main research interest is in generative models for vision, especially in understanding how these models represent and generate content well enough to make them precise, intuitive, and easy to control. I’m also interested in generative models for biology, particularly for proteins and antibodies.

Outside research, I spend an unreasonable amount of time bouldering and lifting heavy things. I’d like to climb Burden of Dreams someday (delusional). I also play the guitar.
