Rabindra Lamsal is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the GRID Lab, UNSW, contributing to the Resilient and Intelligent Infrastructure Systems (RIIS) ARC ITRH in collaboration with FrontierSI.

He earned his PhD from the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, specializing in large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP). His current research focuses on developing state-of-the-art systems that provide easy, natural-language interaction between humans and data. This includes designing intelligent chatbots capable of conversing with complex 3D data such as BIM IFC and CityGML.
