About

I am an Applied Research Scientist at AllSci Corp currently working on building AI co-scientists that can play a dominant role in running long-horizon exploration tasks to accelerate scientific hypothesis discovery for life sciences. My research interests lie in the intersection of Large Language models, Representational Learning, Information Theory, Science of Science, and Uncertainty Quantification. Previously, I was a research scientist at the Center for Science of Science and Innovation working for Dashun Wang at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.

My doctoral study was advised by Dr. Hamed Alhoori, and my dissertation was 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 akhilpandey095@gmail.com (no spam please :D )
