I have moved in a post doctoral capacity to the University of Texas Center for Systems Biology, working on genomic and epigenomic analysis. My new webpage is here. This page will no longer be updated.Hello, I am Pradipta Ranjan Ray, a Ph.D. candidate at the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon. I am advised by Eric Xing (in the SAILING Lab) and Veronica Hinman (in the Hinman Lab). I work on computational aspects of comparative and regulatory genomics, with applications to Drosophilae and Echinoderms. For details, see projects and publications. My interests lie in Regulatory Genomics, Comparative & Evolutionary Genomics, Genome Annotation, Epigenetics, Population Genetics, Selectional and Co-evolutionary analyses, Graphical Models, Continuous Time Markov Processes, and Discriminative Models. My broader research interests involve estimation and inference algorithms for machine learning methods in the natural and social sciences. |

My alma mater is Jadavpur University, Kolkata - where I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science & Engineering in 2002. I worked on image recognition using topological features. I was also a graduate student pursuing M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at the Communication Empowerment Laboratory, Computer Science & Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur where I worked on Bengali Natural Language Processing including developing a Text to Speech system, a grapheme to phoneme mapper, and a phonetic spellchecker for Bengali. I transferred to Carnegie Mellon from IIT Kharagpur in 2004 and picked up an M.S. along the way in LTI. |
