Dwip Dalal

Hi, I am Dwip Dalal, a first-year PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

My research interests lie in Multimodal LLMs, multi-agents, generative AI, and multi-modal representation learning.

Previously, I completed my B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, where I was awarded the Institute Gold medal for graduating at the top of my discipline.
