About

Curious by default, technical by training.

I'm Barad Dhanush — a tech enthusiast who ended up studying Electrical Engineering and never quite stopped exploring everything adjacent to it. My core interests sit across Competitive Programming, Math, Finance, Machine Learning and AI, and the electronics/electrical core that got me here in the first place — and lately I've been poking around Consulting, Product Management, and Quant to see where else that curiosity leads.

Right now that curiosity has a fairly specific shape: making distributed Machine Learning Systems work reliably and privately even when the network underneath them isn't cooperating.

Research

Relaying, privacy, and federated learning.

A summer spent making privacy-preserving mean estimation robust to unreliable, intermittently-connected relays — the kind of failure real deployments actually have.

Summer Research Intern — National Chung Cheng University

Paper in preparation
LocationChiayi, Taiwan
DurationJune – July 2026 (2 months)
AdvisorProf. Tsung-Wei Chiang
Target VenueIEEE CCNC

Working at the intersection of relaying, differential privacy, and federated learning within Machine Learning Systems — extending semi-decentralized, privacy-preserving mean estimation to stay robust when links drop or relays misbehave. The paper is being finalized for submission; the full write-up will go up here once it's out.

Open to remote / corporate research internships

Actively looking right now — happy to talk to labs or industry research teams.

Available for on-site research, May – July 2027

Planning ahead for another dedicated research stint next year.
