Shashi Narayan

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google London. I am part of the language understanding team focusing on natural language generation. Before joining Google, I was part of the EdinburghNLP group, working with Shay Cohen and Mirella Lapata. I did my PhD at Université de Lorraine, Loria INRIA, Nancy with Claire Gardent. Prior to this, I was awarded Erasmus Mundus Masters scholarship in Language and Communication Technology (EM-LCT). I did my major (Bachelor of Technology, Honors) in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur India. I was a member of Super 30. More info on my home page.
