About Me
I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Learning Research Center at Royal Holloway University of London working with Professor Chris Watkins.
Prior to this I was a research associate in VIDA Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering where I worked with Professor Juliana Freire on DARPA Memex and D3M projects. Before joining NYU, I did a summer internship with Microsoft Research and Cloud AI Group in Redmond.
Research
My areas of interest include machine learning, data mining, distributed computing and lately data visualization especially applying them to automation of machine learning (AutoML), information retrieval and applications for social good. Since 2014, I have been working on the DARPA Memex project, in which my research focused on building an interactive search system that enables discovering and retrieving domain-specific content on the Web, using machine learning, natural language processing (NLP) and data visualization techniques. I am currently working on automated generation of data mining pipelines, for the DARPA D3M project, through sequence modeling using a deep neural network and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)
