Soham Chitnis

I am a first year Masters student at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University (NYU) studying Computer Science with AI Specialization. I graduated from Birla Institute of Technology & Science Pilani (BITS Pilani) in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science. My research interests are Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.

In my undergraduate thesis at TCS Research, I explored grounding large language models for Chart Understanding. I also investigated the impact of language-image pre-training of the visual encoder on the Chart Visual Question Answering (Chart VQA) task. I have worked on developing a deep learning-based model for cancer diagnosis using histopathology images and the generation of novel drug molecules for cancer cure using Deep Graph Generators. I have worked on Hyperspectral Images for various downstream tasks. I am a member of Society for Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. I am looking for Summer Internships for 2025.
