Prof. Sourish Dasgupta is an ever-curious researcher and educator. His deep interest in the role of AI in research methodologies led him to take a break from academia and set on an entrepreneurial journey for five years, which resulted in the founding of RAx Labs Inc., Delaware, USA. With some bright ex-students of DA-IICT, Prof. Dasgupta built RAx (https://raxter.io) - an AI-powered online assistant for making literature-review faster and more enriching for young researchers.

Coming back from his entrepreneurial stint, Prof. Dasgupta is currently actively engaged in the analysis of less explored but important aspects of "intelligence" in LLMs, such as their personalization capabilities, and also designing personalized models that are a lot smaller and more eco-friendly than contemporary LLMs. In his pastime, Prof. Dasgupta loves to cook and debate with students. Prof. Dasgupta did his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Missouri – Kansas City, USA.
