I am, currently, a PhD student at the Computer Science Dept, Virginia Tech., Blacksburg, VA. My advisor is Dr. Naren Ramakrishnan.
My research includes various aspects of temporal data mining like statistical modeling of frequent episode mining algorithms, parallel algorithms for temporal data mining on accelerator graphics hardware, motif discovery algorithms for time series and streaming pattern mining in discrete event sequences.
In my past life I have worked as a Researcher at General Motors R&D in Bangalore, India. And have a masters degree in System Science and Automation from Electrical Engineering Dept., Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
I have also been actively involved in development of frequent episode mining tool known as TDMiner/GMiner
