I am a Researcher with IIT Bombay (India), Monash University (Australia), and IITB-Monash Research Academy (India). My interests are in Computational or Systems Biology and Bioinformatics.
I am currently working on applying Machine learning techniques to high-throughput data for inference and to efficiently integrating knowledge from literature and experts to improve inference. Present focus is on gene expression data and gene regulatory networks.
