Vardhan Dongre

Ph.D. Student & AI Researcher

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UIUC, where I am advised by Vikram S. Adve and Dilek Hakkani Tür. I also closely collaborate with Gokhan Tur and John F. Reid.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. I am particularly interested in conversational generative agents that can interact with both the digital and physical world for real-world applications. I am affiliated with the AIFARMS Institute, and a member of ConvAI Lab at UIUC. My work is supported by the DARPA FACT program and the Amazon-Illinois Center on AI for Interactive Conversational Experiences.

Research Interests:

I am always looking for students who are interested in these topics. Please reach out to me if you are interested in working with me.
