Lead AI and NLP Researcher

Department of Electrical Engineering, UMN

• Developing grant proposals, writing journals, securing funding, exploring existing literature and state-of-the-art speech-to-text tools for project specific use cases, and increasing cross-collaboration with multiple teams across various institutions.

Deep Learning Researcher

Department of Surgery, UMN

• Using ML and NLP techniques, developing a novel clinical annotation system for high-volume, real-time extraction and analysis of acute and long-term COVID-19 symptoms from unstructured patient notes.
• Comparable to other state-of-the-art clinical annotation systems, the developed system was the quickest, utilized little computational resources, and had good symptom extraction performance.

Health Futures Researcher

Microsoft

• Developed lesion detection pipeline to identify lesions (sprains, cartilage loss, fracture etc) present in a patient’s MRI image reconstructed using undersampled data.
• In addition to detecting rare lesions, the pipeline had similar detection performance for MRI images reconstructed using no undersampling and MRI images reconstructed using an undersampling factor of 2, 4 and 8.

Teaching Instructor

Department of Electrical Engineering, UMN

• Ability to work under pressure while teaching and grading assignments in more than 20 undergraduate and graduate level classes with class sizes ranging between 20-150 students.

AI Infrastructure Data Science Intern

NVIDIA

• Developed state of the art multi-core multi-GPU ML models in CUDA C++.
• Analyzed and alleviated existing scaling inefficiencies present in these ML models.
• The developed models were a part of the NVIDIA RAPIDS library.

• Cisco Tech for HealthCare Research Grant
• UMN Informatics Institute Small Seed Grant

• Google PhD Fellowship - University Finalist
