Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrajit Dhar is a scientific researcher and computational linguist with nine years of combined professional and research experience focused on data science, machine translation and NLP for low-resource, morphologically rich languages. Currently based in Groningen and completing a PhD, he has applied neural methods and linguistic features to improve translation quality for languages like Turkish, Bengali and Tamil while also working with big data stacks (Hadoop, Spark) and production analytics. His background spans academia and industry—from configuring distributed clusters and optimizing production-line data mining at Fraunhofer to fraud and risk modeling at Amazon—giving him a rare blend of experimental rigor and engineering pragmatism. Fluent in English, Dutch (C1) and advanced German, Prajit is actively seeking internships or roles in the Netherlands or Germany where he can translate his research on linguistically informed neural models into deployable systems.
