I am Gaurav Meena, a Regional Provident Fund Commissioner - II with EPFO, India. Currently, I am on study leave, expanding my expertise as a first-year M.Tech student in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science at IIT Delhi (graduating June 2026).
With a foundational background in Aerospace Engineering (B.Tech & M.Tech, IIT Bombay, 2007-2012), I am passionate about bridging the gap between legacy systems and modern AI.
โก๏ธ Fun fact: I'm a Rocket Scientist by my initial academic training!
My research focuses on Generative AI, specifically exploring Diffusion and VAE models for synthetic tabular data generation. My goal is to generate high-fidelity data while rigorously ensuring privacy and distribution integrity.
I am exploring the intersection of Law, Bureaucracy, and Large Language Models.
- Project: Building a specialized RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline to digitize and query legacy EPFO legal case files (7A & 14B).
- Goal: transforming unstructured bureaucratic PDFs into a queryable knowledge base to assist adjudicating officers.
- Stack: OCR, Vector Databases, LLMs, Privacy-Preserving AI.
