About Me

Being a 90's kid, I had always been a huge fan of Sci-fi novels, comics, and movies. Can we create a machine that can think on its own? This question popped into my mind when I saw Ironman. I didn't find out the perfect solution, but it directed me to the path of Biocomputational Technologies. The success stories of autonomous surgical systems or the ideas shared at TED Talk always motivated me. So I decided to bolster my knowledge with various massive open online courses, and further, I opted for Biomedical engineering.

My interest is in creating value by solving hard problems. I am excited about solving real-life problems with Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Artificial Intelligence.

Currently, in my master's research, I am working on using Data Augmentation to improve classification accuracy on TCGA data. On the other hand, I have completed Artificial Intelligence Nano-Degree from Udacity, where I have worked on various projects/techniques like Sudoku Solving Agent, Pacman Agent, Adversarial Search Techniques, Hidden Markov Models, etc. To have more profound insight into Data Science/Machine Learning models used in industry, I have completed another certification from Udemy. My Undergrad and Intern experience are mainly in the field of Computer Vision and Image Processing.

I wish to be in a place, where I can learn how to incubate an elegant idea, formulate it succinctly and passionately strive to reach the goal with scientific integrity.

My Motto:

Beckett's quote - "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."
