👋 Hi, I’m Vaibhav Balloli, a Ph.D. student at Realaize Lab with Prof. Elizabeth Bondi-Kelly at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I’m broadly interested in the intersection of sequential decision making and multi-agent systems with applications that focus on benefitting the society. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India, I’ve worked on HAMS, Project Vasudha and Project VeLLM. I’m a proponent of Open Source and also pretty active in developing in and contributing to Open Source, so do checkout my work on my GitHub.
