Arnav Rastogi

Hi,

I’m Arnav Rastogi, an AI researcher and engineer passionate about building intelligent systems that connect ideas from machine learning, reinforcement learning, and agentic AI.

I ’m currently pursuing MIT’s MicroMasters in Data Science, while also studying at IIT Jodhpur. My long-term goal is to contribute to research in AI/ML at the PhD level. My interests include cellular automata, reinforcement learning, and general-purpose AI agents.

Outside of research and coding, I’m passionate about staying active and exploring the world:

• I work out regularly and focus on strength and endurance.
• I play football competitively and represented my school at the national U-18 level.
• I’m a certified Advanced Open Water Diver, exploring underwater ecosystems whenever I get the chance.

When I’m not coding or training, I enjoy connecting with smart peers, working on side projects that stretch beyond traditional boundaries, and learning new skills.
