Research & Innovation
Currently, I hold the position of Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi, India, where I bring over 12 years of experience in teaching and research. My career also includes a tenure as a graduate engineer/software engineer in the information technology field, having worked with Information Mosaic Software Private Limited, UK. My doctoral research at the University of Delhi has provided me with extensive hands-on experience in developing innovative and sophisticated AI/ML models to tackle complex challenges in urban and digital environments. This research specifically involved the creation of advanced machine learning models to analyze and predict energy consumption influenced by various human activities, occupancy trends, the operation of heterogeneous equipment, building design, and structural attributes. The results of this research have been disseminated through publications in high-impact SCI/SCIE/Scopus-indexed journals such as Energy and Buildings, Sustainable Cities and Society, Sustainable Energy, Grids and Network, Ecological Informatics, and at reputable international conferences. My academic pursuits are centred around AI/ML, natural language processing (NLP), AI for Social Good, Urban computing, and CSS. I am passionate about fostering new knowledge, research, and innovation within these domains. Leveraging a strong foundation in AI/ML and computational techniques, I tackle interdisciplinary and pressing societal issues. My work encompasses detecting mental states and depression, classifying digital news and political content consumption, creating machine learning and NLP models to forecast election results at both macro and micro levels, and analyzing political polarization, hate speech, and fake news detection.
Our Story
My vision for innovative research and high-quality education aligns closely with my professional aspirations. I am particularly motivated to advance research in artificial intelligence and its focus on tackling global issues. I am eager to contribute to the research community and play a role in shaping the future where AI can be used for the betterment of humanity. I have extensive experience in AI/ML, Urban Computing, NLP and CSS, independently and in collaborative environments, engaging with individuals from diverse and interdisciplinary fields such as psychology, political science, media and journalism, sociology, philosophy, law and governance, and management.
