I am currently pursuing Master of Science (by Research) degree at IIT Kharagpur. I also work as Senior Research Fellow at E-Business Center of Excellence, in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. My research interests are the applications of Machine Learning and Probabilistic Graphical Models, especially in Recommender Systems. I also work on developing algorithms for different structural pattern finding in temporal networks. Before joining to E-Business Centre of Excellence, IIT Kharagpur, I have worked as Application Developer in IBM India Private Ltd for three years. I have done specialization in the data warehouse (Teradata) development and maintenance for telecom business intelligence domain.
