About Yash Savani
I\'m a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I work with Prof. Zico Kolter on steering frontier generative AI models toward greater safety, robustness, and efficiency. I work at the intersection of theoretical insight and practical scalability. My research connects the mathematics of high-dimensional learning (differential geometry, stochastic differential equations, optimal transport) with methods for training and steering generative models (spanning pretraining, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and controlled decoding), and brings these ideas to life at scale using PyTorch, JAX, CUDA, Triton and modern distributed systems (DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron).
