WORK HISTORY
Senior Applied Research Scientist @Servicenow Ai Research
Toronto, ON, CA
At ServiceNow Research, I research adaptable guardrails to defend against evolving attacks in enterprise AI systems — building context-driven guardrail pipelines and evaluation benchmarks that simulate realistic, evolving attack scenarios to expose blind spots in defenses. I also contribute to the Apriel family of LLMs, helping build a cohesive model family through pre-training, mid-training, SFT, and distillation, including training efficient hybrid architectures like Apriel-H1. Our goal is to deliver agents that are secure by default, high-impact, and built to meet enterprise requirements at every scale.
EDUCATION

SKILLS
ABOUT LUKE NITISH KUMAR
Applied Research Scientist at ServiceNow Research, researching adaptable guardrails and context-driven defense pipelines to secure enterprise AI agents against evolving attacks. I also contribute to the Apriel family of foundation models — including Apriel-H1, a hybrid Transformer–Mamba architecture — with work spanning the full model lifecycle: pre-training, mid-training, SFT, distillation, and evaluation.Previously at Microsoft and Amii, I built transformer-based B2C products and led applied ML initiatives in Health, Finance, and Energy, helping organizations adopt and deploy machine learning effectively.I bridge research and real-world impact — turning emerging model innovations into secure, high-impact AI systems.
