Biography

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wadhwani School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India. Earlier, I was a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow (PMRF) and PhD scholar in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Jodhpur. I have submitted my PhD thesis under the supervision of Dr. Suman Kundu, with Prof. Rajesh Sharma as co-supervisor. I received my Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the College of Engineering Pune Technological University (COEP).

My current research interests include natural language processing, graph neural networks, social networks, and AI for social good and education.
