Top SchoolNirmal Roy is an Applied Scientist II based in Cambridge with eight years of experience blending information retrieval, NLP, and HCI to improve how people search for and learn complex information. Currently completing a PhD at TU Delft, he has transitioned between research and industry roles at Amazon (multiple applied scientist positions and internships) and a stint as an NLP Data Scientist at OKRA.ai.
