Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrajna Upadhyay is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science & Information Systems at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, with a decade of experience spanning academic research and applied projects in information extraction and retrieval. She earned a PhD from IIT Delhi and built TeKnowbase, an open-source knowledge base for Computer Science whose features have demonstrably improved technical text classification, article ranking, and aspect-based recommendation. Her postdoctoral work at Inria and research on prerequisite and reading-order modeling bring practical advances to educational search and curriculum design by introducing granular, facet-aware prerequisite relationships. Beyond academia she teaches yoga professionally, blending analytical rigor with a commitment to well-being.
