BIO
Sarthak studied engineering at IIT Delhi. As an undergrad, he co-authored research on transformer-based ML models before LLMs were mainstream, with groups at University of Waterloo and Monash. He later built a 10x faster (than SOTA) inference application for compute-heavy ML models, pioneering an algorithm that was adopted by a Fortune 100 biopharma's research arm. His work on computational protein design at iGEM, an MIT research initiative, was awarded Gold amongst 3000+ teams globally.
