I am currently a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Linguistics in the University of Stuttgart and working under the guidance of Prof. Titus von der Malsburg. I earned my PhD in Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Modeling at IIT Delhi, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Sumeet Agarwal and Prof. Rajakrishnan Rajkumar. During my PhD, I focused on the Cognitive Modeling of Hindi Syntactic Choice Phenomena. Specifically, I delved into studying linguistic structures and developed cognitively motivated computational models to account for comprehension and production processes in Hindi. I am broadly interested in the mixture of computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, and cognitive science.
In the past, I served as a Senior Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace, Bangalore, where I was responsible for developing software to test electrical hardware in cockpit systems viz., communication devices, display screens. I also conducted automated Test Coverage Analyses as part of my role. During my time at the company, I completed the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Green Belt certification program, a business management strategy employed across industries to enhance quality and streamline processes.
Prior to that, I received Dual Degree, B.Tech in Electrical Engineering, and M.Tech in Information and Communication Technology from IIT Delhi. During my undergrad, I also took a minor degree worth of courses in Linguistics for credit (20 credits; 5 courses and 1 minor project). Subsequently, for my Master's thesis, I focused on developing computational models of Hindi word order. This work became the basis of my PhD dissertation later on.
