Saurabh Koju

Hello! I am a Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at TU Darmstadt. I previously worked as a research assistant at NAAMII under the supervision of Dr. Binod Bhattarai at the Multimodal Learning Lab.
My current research interests include world models, information theory and generative modeling. Recently, I’ve been working on improving the cross-context adaptability of latent actions learned through world models for surgical applications.
I enjoy exploring the theoretical aspects of machine learning, particularly in information theory, generalization, and robustness.

Research Interests: World Models, Generalization and Robustness, Information Theory, Generative Modeling
