Nikita Kachaev
Hi there! I’m a Research Engineer at Cognitive AI Lab, studying Online Reinforcement Learning, VLM, VLA, foundation models.
I split my time between writing research papers and working on applied projects. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Machine Learning at ITMO University
and previously completed a Bachelor’s in Physics at HSE University.
I completed internships at VK and Tinkoff during this time.
