| Sai Karthik | Navuluru | University of Texas at Dallas | I am a PhD student in Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas, specializing in scientific machine learning with an emphasis on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), High-Performance Computing (HPC), and constrained optimization. My research centers on scalable methods for multimodal data integration and large-scale optimization, including DOE-aligned work on HPC-driven modeling and performance analysis on GPU supercomputers. I bring a strong applied foundation from an M.S. in Data Science (University of New Haven), focused on machine learning, deep learning, and NLP, and a mathematically rigorous B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (SRM University), which built depth in calculus, probability, and signal processing. Across projects and publications, I integrate statistical modeling with HPC and graph-based methods to advance data-driven discovery in scientific computing and computational engineering. | Ph.D. / Computer Engineering / In Progress (Aug 2024 – Present) – University of Texas at Dallas M.S. / Data Science / 2023 – University of New Haven B.Tech. / Electronics and Communication Engineering / 2021 – SRM University |
