I am a PhD student at the Computer Science & Engineering Department, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. My advisor is Professor Arindam Banerjee. My research interests lie primarily in data mining and machine learning. I am especially interested in designing and implementing efficient learning algorithms to solve large scale real-world problems. Currently, I am focusing on climate science applications with massive datasets.
