is a 4^th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. She is the graduate research assistant for the Institute of Museum and Library Services research grant (LG-37-19-0078-19-0) to study the application of computational methods and resources to large corpora of electronic theses and dissertations.

Banerjee’s research involves working with natural language processing, information retrieval to increase and improve computational access to scholarly big data. ETDs, typically distributed as PDFs, don’t have a computer-readable structure. Thus, identifying structure becomes a crucial task that aids in the computational analysis of such documents.

Prior to her graduate studies, she worked as an Assistant Systems Engineer working on developing Android applications. She completed her undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, India.
