Rishita Patel is an M.S. Research Scholar at the Web Science Lab (WSL), IIIT-Bangalore, under the guidance of Prof. Sushree Behera and Prof. Srinath Srinivasa. Her current research, titled “Multi-modal Content Generation for Navigated Learning”, investigates the applicability of diffusion-based text-to-image generation models in the educational domain—an area where factual accuracy, pedagogical alignment, and contextual relevance are paramount. She is working on fine-tuning state-of-the-art diffusion models , aiming to bridge the gap between generative AI’s creative power and the stringent demands of educational content.
Her research interests lie at the intersection of multimodal AI, semantic reasoning, and responsible content generation. Her work explores how models trained for general-purpose creativity can be adapted to serve domain-specific, high-precision use cases like STEAM education.
