Curriculum Vitae
Nitin Bhushan (1988) completed his bachelor (BE) in Electrical Engineering (2009) at M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology and his master (MSc) in Artificial Intelligence (2013), at Maastricht University. The highlight of this program was a stint at Xerox Research Centre Europe, Grenoble where he worked under the tutelage of Dr. Jean-Marc Andreoli to develop a quasi-deterministic extension to the expectation-maximization algorithm to model sequences where the state durations follow a truncated distribution, and the dynamics of the sequence depend on whether the truncation was reached.
In 2015, he started his PhD research on network models applied to envi-ronmental psychology at the Department of Psychometrics and Statistics at the University of Groningen, supervised by Prof. dr. Linda Steg and Prof. dr. Casper Albers, supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) under project number 406-13-006.
During his PhD project, Nitin explored the use of graphical models (net-work models) and time-series models to solve problems of exploratory re-search and causal inference in environmental psychology. He presented his research at two international conferences, the International Conference of Applied Psychology, Behaviour and Energy Efficiency. He followed several graduate courses on topics such as statistical consultancy, statistical learning,
generalized additive models, and Bayesian statistics. In addition, he taught courses in the Psychology program, including statistics and research meth-ods, and supervised an honours bachelor thesis.
