Research: Foundation Models for Science and Systems Engineering, Advisor: Sriram Vishwanath
Lab details: SIGNAL
TIGs: Computer Systems and Software, Digital Signal Processing, Systems and Controls, Telecommunications
Seeking: MS students, PhD Students, 4 positions
Application Due December 21, 2025 to sriram@ece.gatech.edu
Research keywords: Foundation Models, Joint Embeddings, Multimodal Data, World Models
Description:
Research in foundation models, world models, and systems intelligence with multimodal data is at the convergence of large-scale machine learning, simulation-based reasoning, and integrated decision-making. Foundation models, trained on vast and diverse datasets, serve as adaptable bases for a wide array of downstream tasks, enabling rapid generalization across domains. World models extend this by learning structured, predictive representations of dynamic environments, allowing agents to simulate future states, reason about uncertainty, and plan actions. When these capabilities are integrated within a systems intelligence framework, the result is not just task-specific competence but an ability to coordinate sensing, reasoning, and actuation in complex, real-world scenarios. This integration becomes even more powerful when the models are designed to ingest and align heterogeneous modalities including vision, language, audio, sensor data, and symbolic knowledge into a unified representation space.
Multimodal systems intelligence builds on this foundation to enable context-aware, adaptive, and goal-directed behavior in domains where real-time perception, long-horizon prediction, and strategic decision-making must be seamlessly combined. By fusing multimodal embeddings within a world model, the system can maintain a coherent understanding of the environment, reconcile conflicting signals, and adapt to incomplete or noisy inputs. This capability is essential for applications such as autonomous robotics, AI-driven scientific discovery, and human-AI collaboration in high-stakes decision environments. The research frontier offers exciting opportunities to design models that are more expressive, capturing temporal, causal, and hierarchical dependencies, while also making them more controllable and interpretable. Graduate students who want to work at the cutting edge of AI and help shape the next generation of intelligent, adaptive systems are encouraged to reach out and be part of this work.
