Saurav Bastola

Hello đź‘‹! I am a Research Assistant at NAAMII, working under Dr. Binod Bhattarai.

My research focuses on Generative World Models and Medical AI. I am interested in how we can build unified, data-efficient internal models of the world—moving AI from pattern matching to reasoning.

Currently, I am developing Diffusion Models for spatial proteomics (generating synthetic biological tissues) and Surgical World Models that learn physics from unlabeled video.

Background: Computer Engineering (Pulchowk Campus), International Math Olympiad (IMO) 2019 Participant.

Research Interests: World Models, Generative AI, Medical Image Synthesis, Reinforcement Learning, Game AI.
