Mrigank Pawagi

      I am a rising senior pursuing mathematics and computing at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru. I am most interested in research involving software engineering and software quality, and the application of large language models in these areas. Some of my prior work has been related to the use of polyglot programming for the validation of code translations from one programming language to another. Specifications and program repair are closely tied to code translation, and I have also explored the use of large language models in analyzing and improving software specifications. I am currently working at Microsoft Research on automatically fixing bugs using large language models.

I also enjoy teaching, like through volunteering or by leading student-club activities, and exploring the pedagogical implications of my work. In my time away from work, I might be hacking code, listening to my favorite music, writing on my blog, or occasionally playing badminton. When I was in high school, I loved developing websites and apps that I thought could fix the world.
