A framework for structuring, visualizing, and orchestrating agent behavior in a more interpretable tree-based form.
Ganesh Talluri
Hi! I'm Ganesh Talluri, a student at BASIS Peoria based in Phoenix, AZ. I am the co-founder of Luxen LLC and a machine learning researcher.
My work spans AI agents, biomedical machine learning, and computational biology. I am working on building trustworthy AI systems and applying deep learning to solve complex biological problems. I have also worked on fine-tuning deep learning models for out-of-distribution tasks, created custom biological transformer models and modeled neuronal stimulation through gene expression.
Most recently, I was a Research Assistant at Midwestern University, advised by Prof. Andrew Lee, a Venture Fellow at Harvard University and a Don Lavoie Fellow at George Mason University. I am currently an Associate Scholar at the Masason Foundation and a Deal Partner at Boardy.
Feel free to reach out if you are interested in my work.
