I am a PhD student working with Gaël Richard and Changhong Wang at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, supported by the ERC-funded Hi-Audio project.
I am interested in using Machine Learning methods for analyzing and extracting insights from temporal sequence data. My particular testbed is musical signals. My PhD research looks at how inductive biases can be introduced into Transformers by using the positional encoding module to insert musically-relevant structural information.
Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Sentinels in Groningen, The Netherlands, building solutions for the financial transaction processing industry. I completed my Masters in Artificial Intelligence with cum laude distinction at the University of Groningen in 2020. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in History at Presidency University. I spoke to The Telegraph India about my journey from the humanities to the sciences here.
