Welcome!

I am a PhD student working at the Data Mining Lab and Cyber Security Research and Education Center in the Department of Computer Science at University of Texas at Dallas . I am co-advised by Dr. Latifur Khan and Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham. I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Panjab University in India.

My research interests include location mining in online social networks (OSNs), location extraction from text, data mining in online social networks, opinion and sentiment mining and information retrieval. You may click on the link to my research statement and resume for further details.

I am always looking forward to collaborative research as an opportunity to learn while having fun. You can get in touch with me at abrol AT utdallas DOT edu
