🎉 Update: PhD completed in July 2024 • Currently at NVIDIA • Delivered lectures on Systems View of AI at IIT Kharagpur (Spring 2026)
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 community enablement 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.
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 my PhD.
My research interests include natural language processing, machine learning, graph-based learning, and multilingual AI. I have worked on constrained neural machine translation, semi-supervised and unsupervised learning, and data programming.
During my PhD, I was a key member of the neural machine translation project UDAAN, which helps publishers translate technical content into Indian languages at scale. The project is open source and has been used by several Indian government technical education agencies and official language departments.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing table tennis and cricket, and reading about Indian culture, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata.
