Rohan Pandey

I am a PhD student at the Bio-NLP lab at the Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences at UMass, Amherst fortunate to be advised by Hong Yu. My current research interests have a strong focus on making machine learning systems more robust and reliable for real-world applications, particularly in healthcare. My research aims to bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical, deployable solutions in medical contexts.

Before embarking on my PhD journey, I most recently spent 2.5 years at McKinsey & Company, where I was most recently leading the development of AI-powered spend analytics within digital procurement as a product owner. I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science & Engineering from Shiv Nadar University, India, graduating with High Distinction. I have also spent time conducting research at HITI Lab, Emory University and TavLab, IIITD.

I am passionate about mentoring young professionals and students, helping them navigate their academic and career paths. If you're interested in collaborating or seeking guidance, feel free to reach out. My journey has been shaped by the generosity and support of others, and I am committed to paying it forward.
