Jugal Gajjar
Graduate student at The George Washington University working on reasoning-centric AI systems with a focus on Large Language Models, trustworthy and explainable AI, and AI for code intelligence and security.
I also explore applications in code intelligence and software security, where I combine graph learning and LLMs to build systems for vulnerability detection, reasoning, and automated repair.
My broader goal is to develop trustworthy AI systems that can collaborate effectively with humans in high-stakes environments. Learn more →
TaskForge
Distributed microservices system implementing task management with JWT authentication and gRPC-based communication to model real-world backend architectures.
RSAT
Structured attribution framework for training small LLMs to generate step-by-step reasoning with explicit citations, improving faithfulness and interpretability.
Adaptive RAG
Reinforcement learning-based retrieval framework that learns when and how much to retrieve, improving efficiency and reasoning in LLM systems.
