Welcome to my page!
Hi, I am Debanjali Biswas.
I am presently pursuing my Ph.D. at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Stefan Dietze.
Prior to this, I earned my Master's degree in Intelligent Systems from the University of Bonn in early 2020. Following that, I served as a research associate at both Saarland University and the University of Bonn until late 2021, before transitioning to GESIS in January 2022. My research interests include Knowledge Graphs, Language models, Link prediction/Knowledge Graph Construction, Machine Learning/Deep Learning, and Semantic Web.
I am from Kolkata, India, but I currently reside in Köln, Germany. In my free time, I like to dance, paint and travel.
