About Me
"Hello! My name is Sharath H N. I am a first-year MS research student at IIT Bombay, where I am currently part of the CFILT lab. My research interests lie in the fascinating field of natural language processing (NLP), with a particular focus on natural language generation (NLG) and model interpretation. I am passionate about exploring how machines can understand and generate human language, and I am dedicated to advancing our understanding of these complex processes. Through my research, I aim to contribute to the development of more intuitive and interpretable AI systems that can better interact with and assist humans.

Work Experience
Before joining IIT, I worked as a backend engineer at Cisco on a multi-cloud management platform. I focused on ETL jobs, API design and development, code maintenance, and feature testing.
Interests and Hobbies
Reading has always been my go-to hobby. I especially love to read sci-fi and scientific non-fiction related to DNA, cancer, and the brain. I also have a podcast called 'Read To Remain Human'. Do check it out.
When I'm not trekking, I travel. The northeastern part of India is next on my list.
Who doesn't like listening to songs? Coffee, rain, and retro Bollywood make my day.
Two years ago, a random talk during a train journey resulted in one of the most memorable treks of my life: the Kedarkantha trek in Uttarakhand. PS: The background image is actually a photo I took during my recent trek to Dayara Bugyal.
Though I may not look that fit, I love participating in 5k and 10k runs. I intend to run one full marathon in my lifetime.
