    title: "About",
    content:
    `I'm a junior at the University of Chicago double majoring in computer science (specializing in systems) and economics.
    I conduct research with the UChicago [SAND Lab](https://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/) run by Ben Zhao and Heather Zheng,
    where I study security issues in generative AI. Recently, I have had a particular focus on
    studying AI-generated music. While my research interests primarily
    lie in the adversarial machine learning space,  I also have a strong interest in building
    scalable infrastructure and high-performance data engineering systems.

    This summer, I'm excited to be interning as a Software Engineer at [IMC Trading](https://www.imc.com/us) in Chicago. 
    Previously, I interned at [Icosa Computing](https://www.icosacomputing.com/) where I helped build the supporting infrastructure
    for a quantum-inspired optimization engine used in LLM reasoning.
    
    In my free time, I enjoy watching Cleveland Browns football, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and getting into pointless arguments with my friends.
    
    You can find more of my work on my [GitHub](https://github.com/vmittal27).`,
