Brief Bio Presently I am working as an Assistant Professor in the department of Computer Science & Engineering at the IIIT Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, India. Since July 2017 I am associated with Indian School of Business (ISB), as a NLP Research Scientist with the Srini Raju Centre for IT and The Networked Economy (SRITNE). I am consulting with a Hyderabad based startup Phenom People as a Senior Machine Learning Scientist since January 2018. I have experienced two academic postdocs: in Europe and in the USA. In the USA I worked as a Research Scientist with Prof. Rodney Nielsen in the Human Language Technologies (HiLT) lab at the University of North Texas, USA. During summer 2014 I worked at James Pennebaker’s lab, the University of Texas- Austin as an Invited Researcher. Earlier, I spent one year working as a European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. I have also worked for industry. Before moving to the USA, I worked for Samsung Research India, Bangalore as a Chief Engineer. I have obtained Ph.D. (Engineering) from Jadavpur University, India. During my doctoral study, I worked for an Indo-Japan collaborative project entitled “Sentiment Analysis where AI meets Psychology” with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan.

Research Interests

My research interests broadly span over three areas and more specifically their intersection: human language, mind/cognition and artificial intelligence, technically known as Natural Language Processing (NLP). During my doctoral study my primary research focus was Sentiment Analysis / Opinion Mining. I am actively working on language technologies and data science since last 10 years and published in a wide spectrum of the subject, and very recently started working on computational linguistic creativity. Currently, I am actively working in these following areas: computational social science, code-mixing in social media, and social media data visualization in virtual reality.
