My name is Shakeel Ahmad Sheikh and I belong to one of the most beautiful valleys on earth known as Kashmir. Currently I am a postdoctoral research scientist working on ChaSpeePro project with Prof Dr. Ina Kodrasi at IDIAP Reseach Institute (EPFL) (Birthplace of PyTorch). Previously I was a postdoctoral research scientist with Prof Dr. Yaochu Jin at CITEC Research Institute, University of Bielefeld, Germany. I was working on Eloquent Brain Cortex Tumor Detection Using Graph Neural Networks. I completed my doctoral (PhD) studies in the MULTISPEECH Team of LORIA-INRIA, with thesis "Identifying Disfluency in Speakers with Stuttering, and its Rehabilitation, using Deep Learning" under the supervision of Prof Dr. Slim Ouni and Dr. Md Sahidullah at the Department of Informatics and Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Université De Lorraine, Nancy, France.

I did my MS from the Institute of Graduate Studies in Science & Engineering, Faculty of Sciences, Istanbul University in 2019 with the thesis title "Intelligent Clustering of Authentic Islamic Texts based on Contextual Similarity using Deep Learning Techniques". I also did my Master M1 Informatics from École Nationale Supérieure d'informatique et de Mathématiques Appliquées de Grenoble , (Grenoble INP-Université Grenoble Alpes) , France 2019. During my M1 Informatics at Grenoble INP Ensimag, I worked as a research internee in the Getalp Team of LIG lab under the supervision of Prof Dr. Laurent Besacier. During this research Internship, I worked on the project Neural Machine Translation (NMT) in Low Resource Setting Using Pre-Trained Contextual Embeddings (BERT EMBEDDINGS), OpenNMT-py-BERT.

You can contact me at my offocial e-mail.
