Welcome to my personal webpage! I'm a Research Associate in Machine Learning with the Sustainable Finance Group at the University of Oxford. My work focuses on leveraging AI and machine learning to tackle challenges in sustainable finance and geospatial analysis. Previously, I was a Research Associate at The Alan Turing Institute in London, where I worked on machine learning and natural language processing (NLP).
In the past, I held a position as a postdoctoral researcher at the INRIA IRISA research center in Rennes, France. During my postdoctoral role, I concentrated on gaining insights into the inner workings of deep neural networks (DNN) using interpretable methods and pattern mining.
My academic journey led me to obtain a Ph.D. in machine learning from IIT Roorkee, India. My doctoral research was dedicated to the development of clustering algorithms designed to overcome the limitations of conventional approaches, with a special emphasis on utilizing metaheuristic-based techniques. I successfully applied these clustering algorithms in practical contexts, such as text clustering and the creation of collaborative filtering-based recommender systems for movie recommendations.
My research interests span across the fields of machine learning, deep learning, recommender systems, and natural language processing. I am particularly passionate about their applications in sustainable finance and climate.
