I joined the DDIS research group at the Institute of Informatics, University of Zurich as a PhD student in February 2020. 

I completed my Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering from Government Engineering College, Palakkad (India), in 2014 and a Master's in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Hyderabad (India) in 2017. For my master thesis, I worked with Prof. Vineet Padmanabhan on a cross-domain recommender system. Before joining DDIS, I worked as a researcher in the cybersecurity and privacy group at Tata Research Development and Design Centre (India) since 2017.

Open Topics for Students (thesis or project) can be found here.

My research interest broadly includes Machine Learning and Data Analysis. In particular, I worked on areas such as information retrieval (recommendation system) and machine learning in security and privacy.

My current research focuses on human-machine collaboration for scientific text understanding and reasoning. I am particularly interested in how humans and machines can jointly contribute to the tasks of scientific hypotheses detection and generation. I am also passionate about using large language models to the broader societal benefit.
