Hello there! I am Ankit Gupta, first year PhD student (starting Fall’23) of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University, USA.
I completed my undergraduate engineering degree in 2021 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-KGP), India, spending five most precious and memorable years of my life there. After this, I pursued a MS degree in Cognitive Neuroscience on full scholarship in Taipei City, graduating in May 2023.
My primary research is focused on the synthesis and evolution of intelligent systems within digital environments, guided by the insights from natural intelligence. I am deeply captivated by how evolution as an algorithm can lead to (emergent) complexity in both natural and artificially intelligent systems. These interests have prompted me to explore a spectrum of research domains, encompassing evolutionary computation, artificial life, digital evolution, emergence, intelligent systems, and complex systems. I leverage simulation and computational modeling to unravel the intricacies of these compelling fields.
My journey as a passionate programmer commenced during my junior high school days when I started programming in Java, and I continue to find joy in wielding code as a means to unravel the mysteries that interest me.
I am humbled and honored to have my research work published in the MIT Press Journal and Springer International Publishing. Also, I am thrilled about the prospects that lie ahead, as I have just embarked on my Ph.D. journey.
I am grateful for the guidance and support of people in the picture below - my advisors, mentors, supervisors, and course instructors - on my academic journey until starting my current doctoral degree.
My primary affiliations until now!
