About Bhargav Thankey
I am a research scientist working in cryptography and AI. I have designed and implemented cutting-edge cryptographic protocols; in particular, I have extensive experience building zero-knowledge proof systems. I have also built AI agents and fine-tuned LLMs.Prior to this, I was a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science. My research broadly lay in the area of Theoretical Computer Science and more specifically, in Algebraic Complexity Theory and Cryptography.
Experience
Research Scientist
Feb 2025 — Present · Bengaluru, IN
Reduced the memory footprint of a zero-knowledge virtual machine, Jolt, by designing and implementing streaming algorithms for various component protocols of Jolt.Enabled the verification of Jolt to happen on the Ethereum blockchain by designing a recursion pipeline for the Jolt verifier.Designing an intelligent router to send a user query to the most appropriate AI agent from a heterogeneous collection of agents. The router is agent framework and programming language agnostic; it can route queries to agents developed using any agentic framework or programming language.Did parameter-efficient fine-tuning of a LLM to emulate the tweeting style of a person.
