Krishna Sri Ipsit Mantri

I am a 2nd year MS student at Purdue Computer Science. I recently finished an internship at Sony AI in Tokyo, JP in Summer 2024. In a previous life, I was an undergraduate student at IIT Bombay Electrical Engineering from 2018-2022. I am currently looking for PhD positions (Summer/Fall 2025 start) in geometric and topological representation learning.

Recently I am fascinated and motivated to learn about geometry and topology-aware representation learning. I believe that there are lot of symmetries hidden in this world. I am motivated, for the conceivable future (next 10 years) to make this my mission to uncover those symmetries and propose new applications of artificial intelligence. The following masterpiece inspires me

“Everything that happens is as natural as the rose in spring and the crop in summer. Such are disease and death, slander and treachery, and all the rest that delights fools or vexes them.”

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I am fortunate to be working with Dr. Moshe Eliasof and Beatrice Bevilacqua and to be advised by Prof. Bruno Ribeiro. I am grateful to Prof. Abir De for advising, mentoring and motivating me to do research while I was at IITB. At Sony, I am doing research on topologically grounded 3D scene generation. I briefly worked on LLMs for supply chain optimization with Prof. Can Li.
