Sanjay Suryanarayanan

Hello · नमस्ते · வணக்கம் · ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ !

I’m Sanjay, a Research Associate at the AI4Bhārat Lab in IIT Madras, where I am advised by Dr. Mitesh Khapra, Dr. Raj Dabre and Dr. Anoop Kunchukuttan.

My current research focuses on two major domains: (1) Machine Translation, and (2) Multilingual and Multimodal Language Modeling. Additionally, I am exploring Mechanistic Interpretability and Reinforcement Learning as complementary directions within these domains. Previously, I was a Research Intern at AI4Bhārat, where I worked on building large-scale data infrastructure to create, curate, and clean Indic Language data for training LLMs. I am fluent in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada (Being a polyglot naturally complements my work in multilingual NLP) !

Beyond research, I’m a curious soul with wide-ranging interests (jack of all trades, master of some). I’m passionate about Sports, Cars, Cinema, Music, and I love studying Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Economics, Spirituality, Philosophy, Psychology and yes, a decillion other things!

I am actively seeking work and research opportunities where I can apply my skills to solve complex real-world problems. I am also eager to collaborate with researchers and research groups, if you share similar interests or have collaborative ideas, please feel free to reach out to me via my Email, LinkedIn or X!
