Actively looking for summer internship.

I am 5th year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. My research focuses on machine learning and developing algorithms that combine complementary structured and unstructured knowledge to improve performance. My research aims to apply curriculum learning methods for selecting and organizing data to create algorithms that deliver better performance with less data and shorter training times.

I am a member of Computational Language Understanding (CLU) Lab advised by Prof. Hadi Amiri.

I recieved my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, USA and Bachelor’s degree from Gujarat Technological University (GTU), India.
