Fahim Tajwar

I am a first-year computer science MS student at Stanford University and affliated with the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL). I am grateful to have my research supervised by Prof. Chelsea Finn. My primary research interest is in machine learning methods that can handle the intricacies of real world data, e.g., ML models that are robust to distribution shifts and autonomous RL systems that can be trained in environments that have irreversible states, among other things. I am also interested in using machine learning for the problems that we are facing today --- climate change, poverty, education for all etc.

Previously, I graduated with distinction from Stanford University in 2022 where I studied mathematics. I am also fortunate to have worked with Prof. Percy Liang, Stefano Ermon, and Stephen Luby during my undergraduate studies at Stanford. Feel free to reach out to me in case you have any questions or want to chat about my work!
