Shashwat Chandra

cs and math undergrad @ nus

Hi! I’m Shashwat, a final year undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, studying cs and math. Currently, I am interested in deep learning, and specifically large language models.

Previously, I was doing theoretical cs research and was fortunate to have been advised by Yi-Jun Chang on distributed graph algorithms. I have also spent my summers interning in quantitative trading roles at Jump Trading and Optiver.

Even earlier, I used to do competitive programming.
