Hello,
I am huvam

AI/NLP Researcher

I am an AI/NLP researcher with focus on computational social science and AI for healthcare.

About Me

I am a graduate student(MS thesis) at Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science. I finished my undergraduate degree in software engineering from the Delhi Technological University, India and my current research broadly revolves around Natural Language Processing, Computational Social Science, multimodality, HCI and and AI for healthcare.

p.s: I also like to design and build stuff for the web.
