निरुपम गुप्ता / Nirupam Gupta

Hello! Thanks for dropping by.

I am a postdoc in the Distributed Computing Laboratory (DCL), directed by Prof. Rachid Guerraoui in the School of Computer Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (a.k.a. EPFL). In the past, I have also had the pleasure of working with Prof. Nitin Vaidya and Prof. Nikhil Chopra (my PhD advisor at University of Maryland). For more on my past affiliations and education, please check my CV.

My general research interest lies in (distributed) machine learning (ML) and optimization. Currently, I focus on the challenges of robustness to adversarial data and computing units in distributed ML. List of my publications can be found on my DBLP page. I have co-authored the coursebook Robust Machine Learning: Distributed Methods for Safe AI, which introduces the topic of robust ML in distributed frameworks such as Federated Learning.
