Biography

Shivam Sharma is a data scientist in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Physical and Computational Science directorate. He conducts research in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing, with a focus on development and evaluation of large language models and their applications in the fields of scientific domains, as well as implementation of generative AI for the development of conversational AI assistants for multiple projects and databases (e.g., Livewire, NEPA documents, etc.). He received his MS in data science from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2021.
