Varshini Balaji

I'm Varshini, building Coo, an iOS app currently in beta, while finishing my MS in CS at UMass Amherst. My research spans LLM reliability, from reducing sycophancy in LLaMA-2 to improving automated scientific discovery at Allen AI. Before grad school, I built data pipelines for SETI's citizen science telescopes and shipped ML models at Swift that cut delivery failures at scale. Ask me about building Coo, LLM red-teaming and reliability, RAG systems, and ML for scientific discovery.
