Rishika Gupta

I am currently working as a researcher at the CiTIUS ~ Centro Singular de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

I hold a Master’s degree in Big Data Management and Analytics (BDMA Erasmus Mundus) from Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Brussels, Belgium), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona, Spain), and Université Paris-Saclay – CentraleSupélec (CS, Paris, France).

My past work experiences include working as a Data Analyst Intern at L'Oreal, France and as a Data Engineer at ICICI Lombard, India.

My current research focuses on computational methods for drug discovery, particularly drug–target interaction prediction and binding affinity modelling. My main research interests include applying machine learning, deep learning, and FAIR data practices to accelerate biomedical research and foster reproducible, data-driven innovation.
