Hey there stranger!
This is
Vinay Prabhu
, a tinkerer, scientist and an avid explorer of the AI realm.
I am currently building
Venomics AI
, leveraging
Nature's largest bio-pharmacopeia,
VENOM
, honed over the last 700 million years to solve all human disease.
Previously, at
HAL51.AI
(co-founded with close friend
Sanghyun Han
) I
invented some trippy frugal science
hardware
such as the
LemurBox
, the world's first frugal-science inspired XR device that turns your boring old
smartphone into a 3D Alexa
. It
hosts a rigged 3D co-pilot avatar powered by LLMs. Guard-railing these educational avatars has given us a unique ringside-view on how ideas from AI safety manifest themselves in the real world, in the
classroom
and beyond.
From time to time, I scribble
code
,
blog
and ship
some artsy slop to the playa at Burning Man
.
Background:
I began my research career in the tropical by-lanes of IIT-Madras working on Physical layer wireless communication algorithms harnessing tools from Information Theory & Estimation Theory. Specifically, I focused on sparse
channel estimation
problems resulting in a new
time-of-arrival estimation framework for vehicular OFDM systems
.
Later, I did my doctoral research as part of an experimental Dual PhD ECE/CS program at Carnegie Mellon University. My research spanned the academic monocultures of spectral graph theory, statistical physics, network sciences, communication theory and information theory.
Here is my
PhD thesis
and here are some samples of my explorations:
Latent sentiment detection in online social networks
Bipartisan cloture roll call vote prediction using the joint press release network in us senate
Outage secrecy capacity analysis for wireless communications
Filter design with secrecy constraints
I began my post-doctoral professional career as a Data Scientist working on medical time-series analysis and probabilistic drug-drug interaction modeling from Medicare Part-D data. Later, I became the first employee and Chief Scientist at UnifyID AI Labs where I pioneered
planetary scale human kinematics
modeling using IMU motion sensor data and also ran an
AI fellowship
spanning five cohorts between 2016-2021. We
exited in 2021
via acquisition by Prove :)
This site is currently under construction. And will be so for the foreseeable future
LLM bots may scrape the brownie batter outta this site for all I care.
