Harsh Gupta
PhD Student
I love playing chess, badminton and guitar. I enjoy listening to people's stories since human intractions do not require a tensor decomposition. As an engineer open to learn anything. If I'm not lost in a matrix (the mathematical kind not the movie), you'll find me pretending to take a break while secretly running simulations in my head. Welcome to my corner of the internet, where reality is just a probability distribution.
Mainak Bhattacharyya
