I work in the areas of Machine Learning, Data Mining with a particular emphasis on developing simple, yet efficient practical algorithms (mostly from an optimization perspective) for various problems.
I am also interested in looking into the probabilistic, statistical and learning-theoretic facets of different problems. Lately, I have developed interests in longitudinal data analysis techniques. I keenly explore new applications which challenge existing algorithms.
I am looking for highly motivated graduate (MSc, MTech and PhD) students who wish to contribute to these research areas. Interested students can drop me an e-mail for a discussion.
