Hi, I'm Pranav.

Highly Caffeinated

Junior at UW-Madison majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I am involved in undergraduate research under professor Robert Hawkins concerned with building more realistic Generative Agents incorporating human semantics. My hobbies include coding, reading, guitar (electric and classical), chess, volunteering, and video games. I also love cats. For any in-person inquiries, You can find me in my office at the CS building during my office hours, or at Peet's Coffee (usually).

Oftentimes, if I am interested enough, I'll start a personal project in an area of Computer Science before I take related coursework on the subject. This makes projects much more difficult but all the more fulfullfing. Oh, I also write leetcode solutions sometimes (as long as they are informal). Check them out.
