I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology and Affiliated faculty at Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI).
My research interests are machine learning, data analytics, and social media analysis motivated by real-world problems in social informatics, health informatics, and personalization. Specifically, my research group focuses on developing predictive methods to capture spatio-temporal, dynamic, and interpretable patterns in large-scale data.
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science of Virginia Tech under Dr. Naren Ramakrishnan.
