field notes / 01
Hi, I'm Arnabi Dutta.
CSE undergrad at DTU, deep learning researcher, and occasional fine-artist. I sketch ideas in notebooks before they become papers, robots, or firewalls.
Currently working on spacecraft pose estimation, diffusion-model alignment, and self-hardening security agents. Previously: 2nd place at the DARPA Triage Challenge with UAS-DTU.
