Ritul Satish

PhD Student UT Austin

I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at UT Austin, where I work with Venkat Arun and Neeraja J. Yadwadkar. I work on agent memory, reasoning and inference for LLM agents: how an agent manages its context and revises what it believes as evidence arrives. The goal is agents that stay reliable, performant and efficient as they work on complex, long-horizon tasks.

Before UT Austin, I completed my master's in Computer Science at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit, where I worked on distributed systems, mainly microservices and serverless, with Rodrigo Rodrigues (INESC-ID Lisbon) and Alexandru Iosup. Even before that, I was an undergrad at Ashoka University, India.
