About Me

I’m a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Computer Science department. I am broadly interested in Natural Language Processing and MultiModal Deep Learning. Recently, I have completed internship at Microsoft Turing where i worked on Visual Document Understanding. Previously, I have worked as Machine Learning Engineer at ExaWizards in Tokyo. I have also done research assistantship under the supervision of Prof. Asif Ekbal and Prof. Pushpak Bhattacharya where I worked on projects ranging from Multimodal Dialogue System to Multi-hop Question generation and published several papers. In my college days, I did research internships at Microsoft and Naver respectively, where I was fortunate to work with Anirudh Koul, Dr.jung woo ha and Minjoon Seo.

Actively Looking for Machine Learning Engineer position.
