Hi! I am a graduate student at Columbia University pursuing my master’s in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning.

My attraction to Machine Learning(ML) grew from the fascination that a simple tool can perceive and learn. This allowed me to relive what I experienced during my days of learning Carnatic music and Karate. Both art forms stem from the basis of perfecting and improving over iterations which is the underlying principle of Machine Learning.

For my BTech in ECE, I joined NIT Trichy. Where in my sophomore year, I explored projects that leveraged ML to solve real-world problems, such as Medical image classification and detecting diseases, which helped to provide immediate attention and faster treatment to people in need. Working on research ideas that could be used as a solution in the immediate future was a revelation and inspired me to specialize in this field. As a member of the Spider R&D club of NITT encouraged me to focus on ML and to work on similar projects. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have contributed to several Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and NLP-based projects, which have helped me explore the vast field of ML.

I am interested in the Real-world implications of ML and CV, such as self-driving cars, robots used in space exploration, and curing medical ailments.
