🙋♂️ Hello there, I’m Soumen!
About Me
I am Soumen Mondal, currently pursuing my M.S. by Research in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at the Center of Machine Intelligence and Data Science (CMInDS) of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). My academic journey has been driven by a passion for technology and a commitment to advancing knowledge in ML field and I am expected to be graduated from IIT Bombay in 2025.
Throughout my academic career, I have pursued excellence in every endeavor. My journey began at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, where I earned my B.Tech in Civil Engineering from the department of Civil Engineering, graduating with a strong foundation in engineering principles. My quest for deeper knowledge led me to the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc), where I completed my M.Tech in Structural Engineering from the department of Civil Engineering, further honing my analytical and problem-solving skills.
My professional journey in the industry has been both enriching and impactful, particularly during my tenure at General Electric (GE) Vernova in Bengaluru.
Currently, at IIT Bombay, I am focused on research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its applications on LLMs. My collaboration with Amazon on localizing text across domains and my exploration of cross-lingual knowledge transfer in multi-lingual language models are just a few examples of my research interests and capabilities.
