Bhuwan Dhingra

Bhuwan Dhingra is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. He focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, and knowledge representation, with specific interests in question answering, robustness to adversarial inputs, and model calibration.

• 2020: Ph.D. in Language Technologies from Carnegie Mellon University
• 2013: Master's Thesis on Local Quadrature Reconstruction on Smooth Manifolds at IIT Kanpur

His research includes temporal language models, adversarial robustness, and combating misinformation. He leads the ALTER-Math NSF-funded project (2024-2027) and collaborates on CC* Integration-Large (2025-2027) for distributed GPU systems. His 2025 work on adversarial perturbations and 2024 studies on table understanding in materials science highlight his focus on LLM reliability and structured data integration.

Notable awards include the Amazon Research Award (2022), NSF Medium Grant (2022), and Google Research Gift (2021). He advises PhD students like Rich Stureborg and undergraduates such as Angikar Ghosal (now at Stanford PhD). Teaching graduate courses like Introduction to NLP and Advanced NLP, he emphasizes long-form QA and collaborative writing in NLP.
