I am a Research Scientist with Optum AI, working alongside some of the most brilliant minds in AI and machine learning to drive innovation in healthcare and taking on exciting challenges. I am also a (final year-) Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Thomas Ploetz. At Georgia Tech, I am associated with the Computational Behavior Analysis and Ubiquitous Computing Lab. I look forward to making contributions towards impactful work.
Research Interest
My research interest broadly focuses on building novel activity recognition pipelines for wearable and nearable sensing devices. During the course of my Ph.D. I have focused on developing machine learning algorithms for activity monitoring and behavior analysis.
