I am Ayush Maheshwari (आयुष माहेश्वरी), a Senior Solutions Architect at NVIDIA, where I work with the NVAITC India team.
My work focuses on multilingual and domain-specific foundation models, AI for Science, and research collaborations with academic and scientific institutions.
At NVIDIA, I focus on:
My work spans AI solution architecture, applied research, and ecosystem engagement through technical workshops, teaching, and collaborations. I also served as Adjunct Faculty at IIT Kharagpur, where I delivered lectures in the Deep Learning course during the Spring 2026 semester to a class of 150+ students. These lectures focused on the systems perspective of large-scale AI development, including training, inference, and deployment of modern deep learning systems. [Lecture Slides]
Previously, I completed my PhD at CSE, IIT Bombay under the guidance of Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan. I was fortunate to be supported by the Ekal Fellowship . During PhD, I have worked on problems of constrained neural machine translation, semi-supervised and unsupervised learning, and data programming.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing table tennis and cricket, and reading about Indian culture, the Rāmāyaṇa, and the Mahābhārata .
