Nikhil Abhyankar — AI Researcher
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, working on Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems. My research focuses on developing reliable LLM-based methods for reasoning with structured and tabular data and for scientific discovery. I work at the intersection of LLM reasoning, agentic and tool-augmented AI, and AI for Science (AI4Science), with an interest in improving how AI systems reason, learn, and support decision-making in complex, real-world workflows.
