About Me

I am an applied scientist at Microsoft working on multimodal information retrieval, search, and recommendation problems. Before my current position, I was a PhD student in the Data and Information Systems (DAIS) Group, Computer Science Department, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Hari Sundaram.

The goal of my PhD research is to develop user-centric deep-learning models for Recommendation Systems, Graph Mining, Information Retrieval, Behavior Modeling and NLP. I aim to identify real-world constraints in training models, and overcome the implicit assumptions that underlie commonly employed training algorithms, and model architectures.

Prior to joining UIUC, I obtained my Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science at IIT Madras, supervised by Sayan Ranu. My undergraduate thesis was centered on problems surrounding Information Retrieval and Statistical Data Modeling.
