নমস্কার!

Welcome fellow researchers to my website! I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science. My main areas of research interest are NLP and sentiment analysis. At present, I work as an assistant professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore. I am also part of the Institute of High-Performance Computing (IHPC), ASTAR as a senior scientist. Before joining SUTD, I worked at NTU where I was awarded the prestigious NTU presidential postdoctoral fellowship.

My days are spent mostly with arxiv articles, conference proceedings, matrices, probability, calculus, Pytorch and Keras! Ah yes! and reading and replying to emails :)

I am open to collaborations. If you are interested please drop me an email. To know more about my work, please browse the catalog of my publications. You may also visit my Google Scholar profile.

Our lab is called as DeCLaRe Lab. We work on challenging NLP problems, such as, dialogue comprehension and generation, commonsense reasoning, multimodal understanding, and more.
