Education\Experience:

MS in Language Technologies (2008-10) - Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh.
Application Developer, IBM Global Services (2006-08) - IBM India Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India.
Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science (2002-06) - Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, India.

Research Interests:

 I am currently working on Personalization of Search Technology for Low-literacy Users. We are planning to conduct a huge Search Behavior User study with 12000 users in India. This will help us identify specific needs and constraints of such users during an information-seeking session.

Recently, I had worked on Sentence Compression Algorithms. Previously, I have also worked on Document Summarization and Pronoun Resolution. I also devised a rule-based Sentence Segmentation Algorithm as part of this work.
