About Me

I am currently working as Graduate Research Assistant at AI Institiute , University of South Carolina under supervision of Dr. Forest Agostinelli. My research interest includes Explainable AI, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Logic Programming and Machine Learning. I have worked as Machine Learning Developer and Research and Development Engineer in Nepal before joining University of South Carolina. I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. To know more you can look into my resume and follow my research works on github.
