Jayabrata Chowdhury

Hello! Welcome to my website.

I am a graduate student at the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, guided by Prof. Suresh Sundaram in the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab (AIRL). My path to IISc began with a B. Tech in Electrical Engineering in 2018, and now I’m driven by a passion for developing safe and robust algorithms for autonomous systems.

My graduate research focuses on predictive planning using Deep Learning, including a scalable uncertainty-aware algorithm (supported by the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship). I honed my skills by transforming real-world autonomous system challenges into modular Machine Learning problems during my work at WIPRO IISc Research Innovation Network (WIRIN). This project earned me the RBCCPS PhD Fellowship and the best poster award at the Annual Symposium on Cyber-Physical Systems.

My passion for problem-solving extends beyond robotic artificial intelligence. In the financial domain, I tackled the challenge of making decisions in volatile markets by building a probabilistic model for the WorldQuant Challenge, and thereby earned a Gold Level certificate. I am also interested in Natural Language Processing and Graph Machine Learning.
