Mankeerat Sidhu

I am a graduating senior student in Computer Engineering at UIUC advised by Prof. Heng Ji. Previously, I have also worked with Prof. Timothy McPhillips from the National Center of Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), working on a Retrieval augmented Cross Document Question Answering AI Assisted Scientific Report Generation System. I have also worked alongside Prof. ChengXiang Zhai and Revanth Reddy for the Amazon Alexa Socialbot Grand Challenge 5. I have also had the pleasure of working with the best mentors Vicki Zeng, Jeonghwan Kim and Ansel Blume throughout my undergraduate career. Previously, I was also involved in Audio Signal Processing with Prof. Andrew Singer.

My research currently mainly focusses on long document claims/argument detection, multimodal agentic systems, mechanistic interpretability and Jailbreaking/safeguarding of LLM's and developing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that can process both the visual and textual modalities.
