Kausar Patherya

I am a PhD student at Georgia Tech's LLAMAS Lab, working at the intersection of AI and Systems. My research focuses on making efficient, multimodal AI run instantly on wearable technology — linking the physical world with ubiquitous intelligence.

Nothing on here is unique. It is an amalgamation of all that I've read so far, helping me observe this world of ours through fresh eyes. If I happen to see far, it's because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Beyond the classroom, you might find me at a CrossFit gym, in quiet meditation, lost in a good book, or coaxing melodies from piano keys.

May all beings be happy 🌻

My research focuses on intelligent systems, entities that can one day perceive the world as humans do. I'm fascinated by AI and where it can lead our civilization. I hope to be part of this revolution, contributing my own little verse.
