Biography
I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computing Science. I joined the department as a PDRA (Post-Doctoral Research Associate) in 2000. I was promoted to Lecturer in 2003. Before joining the university, I worked as a Research Scientist for Tata Consultancy Services, India, after completing my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India, in 1998.

Research Overview
My research focuses on supporting two-way communication between humans and machines in the context of automating machine learning (ML)/data science life cycle tasks such as data engineering and reporting to stakeholders about fitted models and their fairness, accountability, and transparency (FAT). My research brings together ML/data science, knowledge-based programming, natural language technology and information visualization (InfoVis). I am an inventor on several US patents related to natural language-based AI technology. I am one of the founders of Arria (www.arria.com), a company specializing in data-to-text (D2T) natural language generation (NLG).
