Welcome to Manav’s Homepage!
Hello ! I’m currently in my first year of graduate studies, pursuing a Master’s degree in Intelligent Information Systems (MIIS) at the Language Technologies Institute within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
Before CMU, I completed an Integrated Dual Degree(B.Tech+M.Tech) from the Department of Electrical Engineering , Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I am also worked as an undergraduate researcher at the Complex Networks Research Group, IIT Kharagpur under the supervision of Prof. Pawan Goyal and Prof. Niloy Ganguly . If you have any ideas that you would like to collaborate, hit me up!
