HELLO,

visitor.

Hi, I’m Tanmay Khandait, a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Arizona State University. I study the intersection of optimization, machine learning, and safe autonomy, focusing on how intelligent systems can make reliable decisions under uncertainty — especially in cyber-physical and autonomous systems.

My current research explores Bayesian optimization and probabilistic scenario generation, with an emphasis on scaling these methods for complex systems and applying diffusion-based models to improve robustness and coverage in safety testing. Much of my work combines mathematical modeling, AI, and formal verification, through collaborative projects like DARPA’s ARCOS and ASIMOV programs.

Outside of research, I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, and experimenting with music — activities that keep me curious, balanced, and inspired.
