About Me

I am a graduate student in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I will be graduating in the Spring of 2012. After my graduation, I plan to join the industry and get involved in active research.

I am primarily interested in analyzing the vast amount of data available today. My current work is in the area of Machine Learning and Big Data. I believe that there is still a lot of relatively untapped and potentially useful data around us. In the long term, I would like to work with these 'new' data to extract useful information.

Education

  • MS in Computer Science, September 2010 - Present
    University of California, Irvine
  • BTech in Computer Engineering, July 2006 - June 2010
    Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai, India

Research Interests

  • Machine Learning
  • Information Retrieval
  • MapReduce Programming

I am working on my Masters Thesis under Prof. Crista Lopes. I am looking to build large scale Machine Learning libraries using Apache's open source distributed framework.
