Hiren Madhu

I am a first year PhD student at Yale CS, advised by Professor Smita Krishnaswamy and Professor Rex Ying. My research focuses on building foundation model for biological data.

Earlier, I was an ECE pre-doctoral research fellow in Electrical Communication Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. I worked with Sundeep Prabhakar Chepuri on unsupervised representation learning for simplicial complexes.

I began my research journey at LDRP Institute of Technology and Research (BE in Computer Engineering) under the guidance of Sandip Modha and Thomas Mandl, where I focused on the detection of hate speech in public conversational threads on social media.

My primary research interest is Machine Learning with Limited Labeled Data (ML3D), especially graph representation learning without labels.
