I am a third year graduate student in the Department of Computer Sciences, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining UW-Madison, I worked with Oracle Server Technologies, Bangalore for three years. Prior to that I graduated with a BTech in Computer Science from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur.

Research:

I am interested in the broad area of data management and more specifically in Big Data, information extraction and crowdsourcing. I am working as a research assistant under Prof. AnHai Doan.

Currently I am looking into the problem of Entity Matching (aka Data Matching or Entity Resolution or Record Linkage). Previously I have worked on building large scale knowledge bases and using them to perform information extraction from text.
