Souradeep Mukhopadhyay

First-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Arizona State University (QS #=173), advised by Prof. Chitta Baral. My research spans LLM-based multi-agentic systems, systematic LLM failure modes, agent learning and tool use, and embodied instruction following.

B.Tech (First Class Honors) from Jadavpur University (QS #=676, NIRF #9) under Prof. Ram Sarkar, M.Tech in AI from IISc Bengaluru (QS #=219, NIRF #1), and one year as Research Specialist at Nokia.
