Sagnik Anupam

CIS PhD @ UPenn

I am a PhD student in Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where I am fortunate to be co-advised by Osbert Bastani and Dinesh Jayaraman. I am interested in improving the reasoning ability of foundation models (particularly in programming tasks) and in using them to build embodied AI systems.

Previously, I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I double-majored in computer science and mathematics. There, I was extremely fortunate to work with Armando Solar-Lezama and Omar Costilla-Reyes on neurosymbolic program synthesis and with Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel and Jeung-Yoon Elizabeth Choi on acoustic cue detection. I also spent a summer at Imperial College, London working with Cristopher Salvi. You can find out more about my past experiences here.

I am a member of trustML@Penn, the ASSET Center, and the Perception, Action, & Learning Group at the GRASP Laboratory. I'd love to hear from you if you wish to work with me or collaborate with any of the organizations that I am currently a part of.
