A mysterious student who showed up in the lab only late at night and on weekends. Even his profile picture was mysterious!
After his M.S., Kundan stayed at Iowa State for a Ph.D. in Computer Science with a minor in Statistics, advised by Dr. Christopher Quinn and Dr. Ravikumar Gelli, and defended his dissertation in June 2026. He is now an AI Safety Research Fellow at Algoverse, working on AI evaluations, adversarial robustness, scalable oversight, and LLM reasoning and agents.
Research interests: AI safety and alignment, adversarial robustness, LLM reasoning and agents, autonomous perception and control
