Research Interests

  My research interests focus on information retrieval and specifically on Aggregated Search, the task of aggregating search results from heterogeneous search verticals (image, video, blog, news, etc.) to form search result pages that best help users in satisfying their information needs.

 

 

Skills

Programming Languages: C, C++, Perl, Bash, HTML, PHP, SQL

Platform: Unix (Linux, Mac OS), Windows
