Welcome to my home page!
I am a graduate student at the University of New Mexico. I am a member of Dr. Terran Lane's Machine learning research group and also a member of Dr. Margaret Werner-Washburne's lab.
My research interests lie in the intersection of computer science and biology. I am primarily interested in the application of machine learning techniques to understand the complexities of biological systems.
A little history about me
I got my bachelors in computer engineering from the Army Institute of Technology affiliated with the University of Pune, India in May, 2000. After this I worked for a couple of years at a software firm called Persistent Systems Pvt. Ltd. I got bored with just coding and came to UNM for a masters. I graduated with my masters in computer science from UNM in Spring, 05.
After my masters, I figured I really liked research and decided to stay on for a PhD under the advisement of Dr. Terran Lane and Dr. Margaret Werner-Washburne. I intend to graduate in Dec 2009.
A little about New Mexico
I really like New Mexico which truly lives upto its description of being the Land of enchantment. Here you have the priviledge of seeing a rare blend of the majestic mountains and the high desert. I especially like the clear blue sky and the magnificient sunsets and the best part is that these enchanting moments can be experienced on a daily basis.
