About Me

Hi, there! I'm Dhiraj, a Computer Science Grad Student, Researcher, and Developer. My active area of interest and expertise is Machine Learning and almost everything AI. I am passionate about using CS concepts to act on and solve challenging cross-disciplinary problems.

Besides work and studies, I love to read, draw, occasionally write, consume Movies and TV shows, and discover new music--currently, I'm listening to a lot of classic rock. I love Science; Astrophysics is one of my favorite subjects to read. I am super enthusiastic to talk about space. I would love to have a chat with you! Get in touch!

Work Experience

Work

I have worked as a Research Intern, Research Assistant, Software Developer Intern, and Teaching Assistant. Most of my work focused on using Machine Learning or related tools to solve problems in other disciplines such as Psychology, Neuroscience, and Literature.

Through my work, I seek to create an Impact. In the image to the right, you can find my skills and topic of interest.

I have built many exciting Machine Learning and Deep Learning models. I have developed and hosted a website to conduct experiments. I also got the opportunity to teach undergrads about Java programming language. It was awesome. You can find all about my work experience in detail here.

Projects & Publications

I have also worked on numerous academic and personal projects to solve novel problems, improve existing systems, or just explore possibilities and learn new concepts. You can find them in detail here.

I also received opportunities to present some of my endeavors at top conferences. You can see the list of all my publications over here.
