About Me

I am a 6th year PhD student in the Data Mining Group at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am advised by Prof. Hari Sundaram and closely work with Prof. Alexander Schwing. I have also worked as a Technical Staff Member (Research) in Information Management and Analytics group at IBM Research Labs, India.

My research interests are broadly in the area of User Behavior Modeling, Graph Neural Networks and Credibility on Social Media. Specifically, I work on computing time sensitive and socially-aware user representations that are used for a wide range of tasks like finding credible answers in crowdsourced platforms and recommender systems.
