Research Experience
Worked as a Research Engineer in the School of Mathematics, Department of Statistics at the University of Leeds, collaborating with Dr. Leonid Bogachev on statistical machine learning approaches for Financial AI projects. Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College London (UCL), working with Prof. Alexey Zaikin and Dr. Oleg Blyuss on developing statistical machine learning and deep temporal vision models for risk stratification of Prostate cancer progression. Since April 2023, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, focusing on applied research at the intersection of Generative AI, Web 3.0, and Blockchain.
Education
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University (formerly Kanpur University) in India; PhD in Quantum Information Retrieval from the University of Bedfordshire, supervised by Dr. Haiming Liu and Dr. Ingo Frommholz, and was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow within the QUARTZ ITN consortium.
Background
Research interests include quantum-inspired information retrieval frameworks, user-oriented IR, Information Foraging Theory, formal IR models, quantum probability, and Hilbert space in contextual IR. Also interested in the synergy between machine learning/deep learning and quantum probabilistic frameworks, with applications in finance and healthcare.
Miscellany
Participated in the Google Summer of Code program and interned with the Linux Foundation, working with the Kubernetes, CNCF, and Openstack teams at the Open Mainframe Project.
