M. Sc. @ DIRO, UdeM

I’m Gauransh Kumar, a second-year Master’s student in Computer Science at Université de Montréal, where I conduct research at the GEODES and RALI labs within the DIRO department. My academic and professional journey has been driven by a passion for Software Engineering and Natural Language Processing. I focus on applying cutting-edge NLP techniques and large language models to automate the screening phase in Systematic Literature Reviews—a critical step that can revolutionize how we approach software research.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Maharaja Agrasen Institute Of Technology, Delhi, India, in 2023. Early in my academic career, I was honored to be selected as a Mitacs Globalink Research Intern at Université de Montréal, an achievement made from a competitive pool of over 20,000 applicants under the guidance of Professor Eugene Syriani. This experience, alongside valuable corporate exposure as a DevOps Intern at Datazip and a Technical Staff Intern at AIcrowd, has equipped me with a unique blend of research acumen and practical industry skills.

Driven by curiosity and a commitment to innovation, I continue to explore how advanced computational techniques can be harnessed to solve real-world problems in software development and beyond.
