I am a Research Scientist at NYU Langone Health working with Dr. Miriam Bredella, Prof. Krzysztof Geras and Prof. Artie Shen on survival analysis, opportunistic imaging, and representation learning for medical imaging. Before this, I worked with Prof. Sumit Chopra and Prof. Krzysztof Geras on deploying end-to-end pipeline for pre-processing, training, and inference for lesion detection and classification models on multi-modal mammography scans. I have over three years of dedicated research experience in AI and medical image analysis.
Prior to my current role, I served as an Assistant Research Scientist at the NYU Center for Data Science, focusing on developing advanced deep learning methodologies for medical image analysis under the mentorship of Prof. Jacopo Cirrone. My academic journey includes a Master's degree in Computer Science from NYU (2023), where my research aimed at enhancing dense prediction and classification techniques for medical imaging. This work culminated in three notable publications, presented at two workshops (ECCV 2022, ICCV 2023) and one conference (MLHC 2023).
I started my academic journey in Computer Science at Manipal University Jaipur, where I delved primarily into autonomous rover technology. These rovers were made for the University Rover Challenge (URC) 2020 and the International Rover Design Challenge 2020, where we emerged as international semi-finalists and secured a position in the top 30, respectively. As the AI team lead for URC 2020 and head of the CS and AI subsystem for the International Rover Design Challenge 2020, I was responsible for image classification, low-light imaging, and dense prediction modules. I have contributed to two prominent open-source projects in self-supervised learning: Facebook AI's VISSL and Lightly AI's SSL project. My work involved enhancing the input/output functionalities and implementing DeepMind's "Bootstrap Your Own Latent" approach.
Beyond my technical pursuits, I co-founded the Hult Prize chapter at Manipal University Jaipur, significantly boosting the startup ecosystem and tripling the incubation rate on campus. Our efforts extended to social causes, where we successfully mobilized resources to support homeless children during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Assam-Bihar floods in 2020.
