Sachin Cherumanal is a researcher and practitioner specializing in Information Retrieval, NLP, and conversational AI, with a PhD from RMIT University focused on fair dissemination of multiple perspectives in dialogue systems. He combines nine years of experience spanning academic research, teaching at graduate level, and industry roles building enterprise-scale conversational platforms and generative search at Five9. Earlier work includes safety- and performance-critical C++ engineering for automotive HMIs and hands-on data science consulting, giving him a rare blend of production-grade software engineering and rigorous experimental research. Based in Melbourne, he routinely bridges theory and product, translating fairness-aware IR methods into deployable conversational features. A less obvious strength is his sustained commitment to education—multiple teaching associate roles—so he communicates complex AI concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
