About

Karthik Vaidhyanathan is an Assistant Professor at the Software Engineering Research Center, IIIT-Hyderabad, India where he is also associated with the leadership team of smart city living lab. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy and did his postdoc at the University of L’Aquila, Italy. His main research interests lie in the intersection of software architecture and machine learning with a specific focus on building sustainable software systems. His research focuses on how machine learning techniques can be leveraged to better architect self-adaptive systems and further how to better define architecting practices for developing Machine Learning-enabled software systems. As a part of his research activities, he serves as a reviewer/organizing committee member in various workshops, conferences, and journals.

Karthik also poses more than 5 years of industrial experience as an employee and as a consultant in building and deploying ML products/services.
