Mukul Bhutani

Hi, I am Mukul Bhutani. I am currently a research engineer at Google DeepMind. I have been a core contributor to DeepMind’s foundational models like Veo 3, Imagen, and Gemini 2.5. My research focusses on making these models safe and responsible. Please refer to my Google Scholar page for my recent research work.

I graduated with a Master’s degree from Language Technology Institude, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. There, I got a chance to work with great set of peers and an amazing set of professors including Zico Kolter, Alan Black, and Alex Rudnicky. Prior to that, I had a brief stint as a project assistant under Dr. Partha Talukdar at IISc. In what seems like a previous lifetime, I was working as a software dev at Amazon, Bangalore, in the India Machine Learning team. There, I had a great fortune to work with Arijit Biswas, Subhajit Sanyal, and Bamdev Mishra.

Apart, from science, my other interests include writing poems and running.
