Research Interests

Primarily in Machine Learning, Optimization and their applications. Current work focuses on proposing optimization formulations for kernel learning under various set-ups (for e.g. Multiple Kernel Learning, Multi-task Learning, Rule Learning) and efficient algorithms for solving them.
