Computer Engineering PhD | NLP & Multimodal AI Specialist | Researcher with 750+ Citations | Published Author of 20+ PapersI hold a PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Duke University (Computer Science M.S.), with a strong research foundation recognized through over 750+ citations and a portfolio of 20+ peer-reviewed papers. My work spans the intersection of theory and practical application, with a current focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP), multimodal AI, information extraction, and document understanding.Most recently, I have been part of Bloomberg's AI group, where we focus on building scalable AI solutions for news and finance domain. My recent papers are all in the field of NLP (NAACL, EMNLP, ACL, etc.). In the past life, I worked at the intersection of nano science and computer science, building DNA computing and DNA storage solutions (with papers in Nature, ACS, JACS, etc.) We applied complexity theory, ML and stochastic modeling to nano science. Let’s connect to explore opportunities where advanced AI and research excellence create meaningful impact.
