Hi, I'm Sujay Rastogi.
I am interested in
I am a final year Mathematics & Computer Science undergrad student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani), India.
I have worked on software & website development, graph algorithms & network modeling, extended reality and image processing via a range of academic, industrial, and research projects.
Currently, I am writing my Bachelor's thesis with the Web Information Systems group under the guidance of Dr. Avishek Anand on explainable complex question answering using graphs.
I like learning and playing around with tech. I am actively seeking out full time opportunities from Fall, 2024.
Feel free to connect to discuss any interesting project or opportunities!
