About Neelanjana Pal

I am an ML researcher and engineer with expertise across machine learning and artificial intelligence, spanning areas such as deep neural networks, model robustness, and large language models (LLMs). My work emphasizes developing scalable, trustworthy, and high-impact AI solutions, while continually expanding into new domains at the forefront of AI research and practice.With roots in AI verification research and formal methods focused on safe and reliable AI systems, I have grown into roles that bridge theory and application - strengthening model robustness, optimizing intelligent systems, and improving the usability of advanced AI technologies. More recently, I have expanded my expertise to include active engagement in LLM-driven methods and applications. This progression has enabled me to connect foundational research with emerging technologies, applying both to build AI systems that are efficient, explainable, and practical for real-world use.Driven by curiosity and a commitment to responsible innovation, I thrive at the intersection of research and engineering. I am always eager to collaborate, experiment, and contribute to shaping the next generation of AI technologies that balance capability with reliability and ethical impact.
