Career Profile

I am a researcher with passion for tackling problems at the intersection of AI and neuroscience. Currently, I am focussing on depression models in rodents, extending computer vision tools from the lab to distinguish between control and diseased conditions. I leverage my background in cellular communication, and software engineering to approach the neurobiology of depression and form an understanding of its aspects that impact affect.

Experiences

Research Associate

Feb 2022 - Aug 2023
t.Dunn Lab

Work on improvizing an aid for behavioral modelling in rodents using accurate 3D pose estimation via in-house developed software, DANNCE.

  • Finetuend DANNCE for a novel (patented) behavioral arena (in collaboration with Tadross Lab)
  • Developed Unsupervised metrics for estimating goodness of tracking
  • Set-up a 6-camera large open-field rig with miniscope based Ca-imaging

Member of Technical Staff

Jun 2019 - Oct 2021
Oracle

Maintain and automate processes as part of Database High Availability team of Oracle Enterprise Manager. Experienced working on Oracle Data Guard related offerings as well as Oracle Fusion Middleware offerings in Oracle Enterprise Manager in a diverse team.

  • Enhancing and Maintaining multiple Standby and Clone Creation Wizards
  • Enhancing and Maintaining Service Level Management (ASLM) area
  • Actively working with customer requirements

Research Intern

Feb - Jun 2019
ITMR Lab, IIITA

During my tenure at the lab, I developed an understanding of EEG Inference applied to Epileptic Seizure Detection and Emotion Classifiation, and worked towards generating research insights in the domain.

YTL Networks Intern

May - July 2018
Bharti Airtel Ltd.

Presented and demonstrated a database schema to solve entry-mismatches in the progress trackers for Project Junoon.

Projects

A few fun learning projects that I have dabbled with along the way.

ClinicalIE (Hackathon Project) - Made a GPT-4 based RAG for metadata prediction from tabular biomedical data
Automation of DB Home Operations - Automated database operations, like opening, closing, etc. of multiple databases in a Oracle DB home
Blind Source Separation on Images - Implementation of “Signal separation from X-ray image sequence using singular value decomposition” by Chunyu Yu, Jingya ng Sun (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bspc.2018.01.012)..
FPGA Implementation of Neural Networks - Designed a feedforward perceptron model using Verilog HDL for Xilinx ISE 14.7 with two hidden layers, and implemented and verified it on Spartan-3E FPGA kit on a custom dataset
Intruder Detection system for Crop Fields - A Convolutional Neural Network was trained on images in an augmented dataset to detect cattle against a crop field background, with empty crop fields as control dataset.
Review Sentiment Analysis - Carried out smartphone feature specific sentiment analysis using VADER, along with visualization as part of RevLib.
VideoToonification - A python script to convert a video into a cartoon version
