Guide: Dr. Mehdi Saligane Extending existing research on a LLM framework(https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/ 10.1145/3670474.3685971) for natural language to analog layout translation within OpenFASOC(github.com/idea-fasoc/OpenFASOC) and gLayout (github.com/ReaLLMASIC/gLayout), employing fine-tuning techniques such as Instruction Fine-Tuning (IFT) and reinforcement learning-based post-training (GRPO etc.) to enhance analog circuit layout optimization and performance.

Contributed to the SeekSuspect project, which uses LLMs to identify suspects from criminal dossiers based on visual memory. I helped train the LLaVA model to recognize facial features from text descriptions and developed an end-to-end pipeline using the LATS paper to digitally age suspect images. This approach enables the use of older photos for identifying suspects who may have aged or changed in appearance.
