Rohan Mackin Jha

I'm a first-year PhD student at the Center for Language and Speech Processing at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Benjamin Van Durme and Reno Kriz.

I study neural information retrieval models and the systems in which they are integrated. I aim to design retrieval systems that efficiently address complex information needs.

Previously, I graduated from UT Austin with an M.S. in Computer Science and from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in Artificial Intelligence, where I did retrieval research with Jamie Callan. I also interned at Jina AI, mentored by Bo Wang, to train their multilingual, multi-vector ColBERT retrieval model.
