I am a PhD student at the Department Of Computer Science, Rutgers University,

I work with Prof. S. Muthukrishnan on massive data analysis. Currently, I am working on classification of blog data.

My research involves developing and applying novel machine learning and data mining techniques to large scale data. My areas of interest include: Machine Learning, Databases, Data Mining.

My recent projects include analysis of sensor data from biological sensors like EEG and EMG etc. My master's thesis work involved developing 'Group Sensing' methods to enhance the signal detectability of noisy EEG signals. I also collaborated with ZebraNet group from Princeton to analyze accelerometer data for zebra activity classification.

Here is a list of courses that I have taken in grad school. In the past, I have taught CS110, CS111 and CS205.
