Tirth Joshi
Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence (Yeshiva University, NYC).
AI engineer building systems at the intersection of LLMs, security, and graph-based blockchain routing.
Current focus: LLM-based vulnerability detection, multi-chain routing graphs, scalable ML, and topological ideas for optimization.
Highlights (2025–2026)
- IEEE ICNC 2026: invited paper accepted (with Prof. Honggang Wang)
- Best Research Award, YU CSE Research Day
- DuckAI poster, Stevens Institute of Technology
- Research Assistant, Prof. Shucheng Yu
- 4.0 GPA (graduate)
Research
I work across applied ML and theory-driven systems:
- Smart contract / DeFi security: LLM-aided vulnerability detection and analysis
- Graph routing for multi-chain ecosystems: hierarchical representations and dependable/independent node constraints
- Scalable ML: retrieval, compression, and system design for tool-using LLM applications
- (Selective) Topology + optimization: topological structure in non-convex landscapes and optimizers
