Amar Prakash Azad

I am a research staff member at IBM AI Research Lab. I broadly work in the area of Generative Artificial Intelligence applied to Natural Languages and Codes. Some of my recent focus has been around Generative AI, LLM, Foundational models, Conversational AI, NLP.

My research interests fall broadly in the area of intersection of Machine Learning, NLP, Multimodal systems and Stochastic optimization. I am actively involved in applying these to various problems spanning with application pertaining to natural language intelligence, image analytics and data analytics.

Prior to joining IBM, I’d worked at Samsung Advanced Institute of Research India as a research scientist, CNRS France as research associate. Prior to that I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of California Santa Cruz and Berkeley. I hold a Doctorate from INRIA France in Computer Science, and Master of Science from IISc Bangalore.

Prior to IBM Research, I have also worked extensively in the area of stochastic control and game theory, markov decision process, mean field theory and applied in wide range of computer network problems.
