I’m passionate about leveraging data and technology to solve complex problems and create meaningful insights. Currently, I’m pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics at BITS Pilani, where I’m expanding my quantitative skills to excel in data-driven decision making. My academic journey also includes a Master’s degree in Computational Biology from IISc Bengaluru and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Bangalore University (BU). Throughout my schooling, I consistently excelled, achieving outstanding scores.
Research & Project Experience
My drive to apply knowledge extends beyond academics. I actively participate in research projects that hone my analytical and problem-solving skills. Notably, I developed a computational model of bacterial life cycles during an internship at Dr. Samay Pande’s Lab at IISc. Currently, I’m involved in a cutting-edge project building a Question Answering System using Generative AI models. Beyond research, I actively participate in collaborative projects. For example, I led a data visualization project at BITS Pilani, showcasing strong project management and teamwork abilities.
Project Highlights
My academic and research pursuits provided opportunities to apply my knowledge and skills through various projects. Here are some that exemplify my diverse skillset:
Research Question Answering System using RAG Models (Generative AI) (Ongoing)
This cutting-edge project involves building a system that can answer questions based on research articles. My contributions include data collection, model construction using RAG architecture, and deployment for practical use.
Data Visualization Project
Led a team of 7 in collecting, cleaning, and analyzing student response data (204 responses) using Power BI. Effectively communicated data-driven insights through a mid-term review, demonstrating both technical and communication skills.
Women’s Ice Hockey Performance Modeling and Strategic Insights Project
This project combined my analytical skills with strategic thinking. I utilized multiple regression analysis to assess the impact of key variables on hockey performance. Additionally, I simulated strategic improvements and predicted their overall team point impact. My leadership ensured successful team collaboration throughout the project.
Parallel Meta-heuristic Optimization
This project highlighted my expertise in performance optimization and cutting-edge technology. I achieved a remarkable 40x speedup in algorithm execution by implementing parallel GPU architecture. Furthermore, I diagnosed limitations and showcased a keen analytical mind in addressing computational challenges.
Leadership & Initiative
My drive to contribute extends beyond academics and research. I’ve actively sought leadership roles and initiatives that allowed me to develop my communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Here are some highlights:
Student Faculty Council - Core Member
Led collaborative policy drafting across departments, ensuring alignment with organizational goals. Led impromptu seminars to address productivity concerns, showcasing my problem-solving and leadership abilities.
Personal Assistant to Dean at AUGSD, BITS Pilani
Planned and conceptualized advertisement videos to promote the BITSAT Exam, demonstrating initiative and creative thinking. Increased outreach efforts by organizing promotional events at schools after identifying lower student representation from the northeast region.
Tech Geeks Club - Core Member
Developed and maintained a website for the management fest, enhancing the online presence and user experience for participants. This experience honed my technical skills and commitment to user-centric design.
I’m constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow. Feel free to connect with me to discuss data science, technology, or anything that piques your interest!
