PhD Candidate, College of Information Sciences and Technology

Penn State University

About Me

I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the College of Information Sciences and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University. I am advised by Prof. C.Lee Giles. I am a member of The Intelligent Information Systems Research Laboratory in which I work specifically on the CiteSeerX project.

Here, with the help of Dr. Jian Wu I am responsible for research, crawling, updating the index and maintaining the repository of academic documents at scale(>20M documents). My thesis is on building advanced indexing and retrieval techniques for Math Search. This work is under the project MathSeer on which I am actively working with the help of Dr. Richard Zanibbi.

I have had the unique honor of working with great people at Allen AI in the Semantic Scholar Team where I was mentored by Sergey Feldman and Doug Downey. Previously, I have worked with Dr. Puneet Agarwal at the Tata Innovation Labs as a Researcher.
