Biography
I am a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, UK. I am also a Postdoctoral Affiliate of Trinity College, Cambridge. I am currently working on several exciting research problems concerning codon usage, optimality and, in general, knowledge discovery from large-scale genomic data. I am focusing on developing novel ML approaches, such as Neuro-Symbolic Models and Deep Neural Networks, to learn from genomic sequences. Prior to this position, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar-Employee at the University of California San Diego. In general, my research areas of interest are Deep Learning, Neuro-Symbolic Models, Graph Representation Learning, and Machine Learning for Science. I completed my PhD in Computer Science from BITS Pilani in July 2022. I completed my doctoral research during Jan 2017 to April 2022 under the supervision of Senior Professor Ashwin Srinivasan. The title of my PhD thesis is “Inclusion of Symbolic Domain-Knowledge into Deep Neural Networks”.
