About

I am Research Scientist at the Center for Science of Science and Innovation working for Dashun Wang at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. As a Research Scientist, I oversee the lab’s overall AI efforts, data analytics, and data management. I work closely with other team members to ensure these initiatives align with the lab’s goals and contribute to its broader research objectives. My research interests lie in the intersection of Large Language models, Science of Science, Representational Learning, and Uncertainty Quantification.

Previously, I was a Ph.D student advised by Dr. Hamed Alhoori, and my dissertation fully funded by the NSF grant. focussed on building a predictive modeling framework to investigate the Reproducibility crisis in AI. Previously, I was a Givens Research Associate and an Argonne Leadership Computing Facility Graduate Student researcher. I have given a workshop on using AutoML for Graph Neural Architecture Search, available at ALCF DeepHyper Automated Machine Learning Workshop.

I am an Open Source Enthusiast and in the past I had the opportunity to represent mozilla and webcompat communities. I enjoy capturing random objects, candid moments and vivid terrains. I am peredepain on Instagram. I’m available for email at akhilpandey.aakella@kellogg.northwestern.edu (no spam please :D )

In my previous life, Mozilla Official Contributor, Speaker FOSSASIA 2016, Singapore, and Google Summer of Code Student.
