About Me
FIND ME
I am a computer scientist by education and a Director of Product Management by profession. I now work at Cerence (formerly Nuance Automotive) in Aachen, Germany. I am part of the In-car application team, driving innovation in conversational AI-related products for tier-1 OEMs. I am responsible for the success of a few next-gen innovative conversational AI products of Cerence. Some of the existing products I own are already on the road in leading car makers. My role is quite unconventional, and I work at the intersection of conversational AI research and business units, with a concrete understanding of both domains. Hence, I not only understand how AI can improve businesses, but I do understand how to implement AI models from scratch.
Previously I was with Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany as Senior Dialogue System Researcher where I focussed on the research domain: Dialogue Systems and Question Answering. I was leading a team that improved question-answering capabilities in Fraunhofer’s spin-off dialogue system technology Sophia. In Fraunhofer, I was working with Prof. Dr. Jens Lehmann. Prior to that, I did my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sören Auer from the University of Bonn, Germany in Question answering over Knowledge Graphs. During my Ph.D. studies, I was associated with Fraunhofer IAIS as an early-stage researcher. I received the prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship for Ph.D. studies.
I have (co)-authored several peer-reviewed publications in top conferences such as The Web Conference, EACL, NAACL, CIKM, SIGIR, ISWC, ESWC, etc. In my free time, I do open-source research in the Semantic Web, natural language processing (NLP), and Graph Representation Learning (GLR). Specifically, I focus on Knowledge Representation, Knowledge Graphs, and their application in downstream NLP tasks such as entity linking, relation extraction, and question answering. For a complete list of publications, refer to my Google Scholar. I also founded a voluntary research group "Zerotha" that helps students who seek guidance in research as their first step. I call it "Saturday research," and is one of my hobbies.
