• Large-scale generative models (LLMs, diffusion models)

• Agentic AI systems (multi-agent reasoning, self-organizing agents)

• Multimodal models (vision-language, time-series transformers)

• Model compression, low-latency inference, and scaling laws

• Evaluation and understanding of AI models and agent capabilities

• Identify problems/gaps in applying existing technologies to Bosch specific use cases and engage stakeholders and leaders to address them.

• Initiate and lead research to develop technologies that drive greater efficiency in GenAI for both specialized and generalized applications.

• Lead experimentation on Bosch’s on-prem HPC clusters and cloud-based GenAI stacks.

• Publish in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, ICML, CVPR).

• Mentor early-career researchers, interns, and cross-functional colleagues.

• Contribute to the design and evaluation of Bosch-internal LLM frameworks and AI agents.

• File strategic patents aligned with corporate research themes.

• Evaluate new paradigms like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), memory-augmented agents, and SLM-based deployments.
