Hi! I’m Maharaj Brahma, a third-year PhD student at Natural Language and Information Processing (NLIP) Lab in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) supervised by Prof. Maunendra Sankar Desarkar and Dr. Anoop Kunchukuttan. My research interests focuses on Culture NLP, Multilingual NLP, and Machine Translation. I am also interested in building resources for low-resource languages.

Prior to joining the Ph.D. program, I completed my Master of Technology (M.Tech.) at Central Institute of Technology Kokrajhar (CITK), CFTI, Deemed to be University under MoE, India. I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Sanjib Narzary, and I worked on Machine Translation for the under-resourced Indian language Bodo. I served as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for the master’s course Advanced Computer Network Lab (PCSE271) and the undergraduate course Programming for Problem Solving Lab (UCSE271). I was a TA for the master’s course Mobile and Pervasive Computing (PCSE115), instructed by Prof. Pranav Kumar Singh.

In 2020, I had the good fortune to co-found a startup “DigitalOma” along with my friends.

I received my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Science & Engineering from CIT Kokrajhar, India in 2019 and worked on a thesis titled “English-Bodo Neural Machine Translation using Attention Mechanism”.
