Rabindra Lamsal, PhD

Hi there! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the GRID Lab, UNSW. My work is on geospatial intelligence to support machine-human native conversation and contributes to the Resilient and Intelligent Infrastructure Systems (RIIS) ARC ITRH project.

I hold a PhD from the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. The Melbourne Research Scholarship fully funded my PhD. My thesis focused on designing advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, with key disciplines including Natural Language Processing (NLP), Pattern Recognition, Deep Learning, and Information Systems for sustainable systems and the public good.

Here's a link to my Google Scholar profile. I maintain a list of my first-author publications (journal/conference articles, book chapters, preprints, datasets) here.

Alongside my research on AI for the public good, I am a regular blood donor with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, recently reaching my 10th donation milestone. 🩸

Global Impact with billion-scale datasets 🌏

I created and maintained one of the largest datasets of COVID-19-related public discourse, curating and updating it daily for three years. The dataset includes 2.2 billion tweet identifiers released under a Creative Commons License. Hosted on IEEE DataPort, the dataset and its versions won IEEE Data Competitions in 2019 and 2020, and have been accessed more than 300,000 times and cited in over 300 academic papers.
