About me
External PhD Studnet at IIT Kanpur | Scientist at TCS Research Pune
Greetings! I'm Chandan, a dedicated Scientist at TCS Research (TRDDC) Pune, where I've been fervently contributing since July 2017. Concurrently, I'm pursuing my doctoral journey as an External PhD student at IIT Kanpur, started in January 2022 during the academic session 2021-22 II.
Having completed my PhD coursework in December 2022, I was generously granted a sabbatical by TCS Research for the duration of my doctoral studies. By April 2024, I successfully completed my PhD Comprehensive Examination and delivered the PhD State of The Art (SOTA) seminar. These milestones have not only fortified my academic groundwork but also refined my expertise in my research domain, equipping me with the necessary skills and knowledge to drive innovative research and contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in my specialized area.
My passion lies in the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a particular emphasis on Open Information Extraction and cutting-edge Generative AI. With a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions, I possess deep expertise in harnessing the power of core NLP techniques, such as open information extraction and Large Language Models, to tackle complex real-world business challenges.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've excelled in working with a diverse range of NLP models, including Language Models, Sequence to Sequence Models, Dependency Parsing, POS Tagging, Word Vector Models, and more. These experiences have not only honed my technical skills but also sharpened my ability to derive actionable insights and provide innovative solutions for intricate business problems.
My vision is to unleash the full potential of Open Information Extraction and Large Language Models to transform unstructured data into invaluable insights, empowering organizations to make data-driven decisions effortlessly.
I am thrilled to embark on this new phase, collaborating with esteemed colleagues and pushing the boundaries of knowledge through cutting-edge research.
