Biography

Hi, I’m Sashank! I am a researcher with 5+ years of experience in developing machine learning models to personalise support in healthcare settings.

Currently, I’m a machine learning scientist at Limbic, where I’m focused on creating safe and reliable clinical AI for mental healthcare providers and patients throughout the care pathway. In my work, I use a combination of LLMs, deep supervised learning and RL to develop grounded models and evaluate/improve their safety and performance for real-world applications.

Previously, I was a researcher at Princeton University in the Dr. Yael Niv, where I modeled human inductive biases for continual learning, in order to personalize psychotherapy. I enjoy cross-disciplinary collaborations, making music and writing poetry.
