Mallika is a Master’s student in Computer Science at Stanford University. She is interested in theoretical machine learning, human-AI interaction and AI governance.
Prior to Stanford, she studied Computer Science at UC Berkeley, where she worked with Professor Ken Goldberg in the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab on problems at the intersection of robotics and machine learning. She has worked on building robotic systems to autonomously untangle cables and efficiently plan multi-object grasps, co-authoring work published in the Conference on Robot Learning (CORL) and the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). She has previously interned at Meta and Abacus.Ai, working on reels ranking systems and anomaly detection.
