From Jan 2021 I am presently working as Associate Professor and is leading Computational Social Science Group. Earlier from August 2017 to December 2020, I worked as a Senior Researcher at the University of Tartu, Estonia. At a broader scale my research lies at the intersection of network science (social network analysis), large-scale data analytics, social computing and information systems. My research often explores social behavior as a key element while proposing efficient solutions.

From November 2016 to July 2017, I worked as a Research Fellow on Develop Project, where I was associated with the University of Bristol, UK as well as Queen's University of Belfast, UK. I primarily worked on computational social capital models by exploring social network analysis.

From January of 2014 to October 2016, I worked with Prof. Danilo Montessi and Matteo Magnani as a postdoctoral researcher under IMPACT project in the smartdata group at the University of Bologna, Italy. Primarily I worked on the problem of missing data in multiplex networks. Alonside, I also analysed community patterns and the diffusion of information in online social networks, and the effects of social media on financial market.

I completed my Ph.D in the school of computer engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore under the supervision of Prof. Anwitaman Datta in Dec, 2013. During my PhD, I worked in the area of distributed social computing, where I investigated various key primitives using large scale data analytics, which could be helpful in making DOSN successful by leveraging social relations (such as interest, trust, expertise, etc.). Specifically, I aim at social network applications like storage and information dissemination.

I had a mixed of experience from academics and industry before starting my Ph.D. in January 2009. I worked as a lecturer before doing a MS from IIT Roorkee, India, following which I worked with Cisco Systems Bangalore, India for around 2 years.
