Siddharth Pal सिद्धार्थ पाल

M.S. Data Science, Virginia Tech · previously Research Intern, Siemens Technology

Actively looking for Summer 2027 internships in Machine Learning, AI and Data Science

About#

I am an M.S. student in Data Science at Virginia Tech and a Research Assistant in the Human-centric AI & Intelligent Manufacturing (HAIM) Lab, advised by Prof. Yuhao Zhong. I am interested in making learning systems reliable: models and agents whose outputs can be trusted, explained and deployed in real settings.

Before Virginia Tech, I spent a year as a Research Intern at Siemens Technology building multi-agent LLM systems that automatically map schemas and ontologies across industrial data formats, and worked with research groups at IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee on federated learning and bias in language models. I am a two-time winner of Siemens Aavishkar, Siemens' national Industrial AI Innovathon.
