Reasoning over data
Teaching agents to decompose ambiguous analytical questions, form hypotheses, sequence operations, and revise a plan as new evidence appears.

I’m Subhankar, a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA. I build AI agents that help people navigate data science tasks and turn complex analytical workflows into more intuitive experiences.
Current focus
My current work focuses on reasoning: helping models break open-ended data science questions into defensible steps, choose and use the right tools, inspect intermediate results, and adapt when an approach does not work.
Teaching agents to decompose ambiguous analytical questions, form hypotheses, sequence operations, and revise a plan as new evidence appears.
Building models that can select analytical tools, work across multi-step data science workflows, and connect each action to the task’s underlying intent.
Making agent behavior easier to trust through visible assumptions, intermediate checks, recoverable errors, and results grounded in the available data.
