Hi there! I’m Anmol. I am currently working as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India. I graduated from International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad in 2023 with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.

Currently, I am a part of the AI4Code group at MSR India. At IIIT Hyderabad, I was an undergraduate research student at Precog IIIT-H, advised by Prof. Ponnurangam Kumaraguru, where I worked primarily on problems in Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing. At the Robotics Research Center at IIIT-H, I worked with Prof. K Madhava Krishna, on infusing instance-level information in semantic maps for Visual-Language Robot Navigation tasks.

I believe the most impactful research questions are derived from real world problems. Hence, I wish to apply my engineering and research skills to tackle the world’s most complex technology challenges.

My CV can be found here.
