My Academic Background and Experiences

April 2020 - Present

Research Intern at Harvard University

Lichtman Lab, In conjunction with Computational Connectomics Group, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Working on the problem of "Membrane Detection and Skeletonization of Electron Microscopy(EM) Images" of the brain using a derivative of the Inception-ResU-Nets with Squeeze-Excite characteristics. Achieved a Dice Coefficient Score of 0.93 and 0.91 for the detection of cell membranes and skeletonization of constituent cells respectively on the SNEMI3D dataset. The pipeline would lead to improvements to the standard automated segmentation algorithms. Also worked on the problem of correcting erroneous neuronal annotations, which is currently under submission at CVPR 2021.

Research Intern Siemens Technology Services Private Limited, Bangalore

Developed a statistical machine learning based algorithm to accurately simulate process of mixing chem icals, thereby providing operator assistance by predicting estimated time of completion. icals, thereby providing operator assistance by predicting estimated time of completion. The pipeline was designed to take into account dynamic variation of system parameters and operating conditions while obeying the laws of physics. Achieved a state of the art prediction with an error of 0.002 while predicting the system pH.

August 2020 - Present

Summer Analyst at Goldman Sachs

Consumer and Investment Management Division

Developed a distributed caching system to cache in-process data from a microservices oriented server. Achieved a speedup of around 20-25x while retrieving data from the database. Developed a two-step fallback mechanism to ensure eventual consistency of critical business logic data with re-publication using a publisher-subscriber messaging based interface to increase resiliency.

May 2020 - June 2020

Summer Research Intern at IISc. Bangalore

Spectrum Lab, Department of Electrical Engineering

During my summer break between the 4th annd 5th semesters, I interned at the prestigious Spectrum Lab situated at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. Under the guidance of Dr. Chandra Shekhar Seelamanthula I worked on Diabetic Retinopathy detection and grading. Using a variant of VGG+FCNN I was able to beat the state of the art in Referable Diabetic Retinopathy Grading with an AUC of 0.979.

July 2017 - Present

Undergrad at NITK Surathkal

Department of Information Technology

I'm curretly a Senior at NITK Surathkal Inforamtion Technology Department. My CGPA so far is 9.51 over the first 7 semesters.

See My Latest Projects.

A concept or abstract can be truely understood by implementing their ideas by projects.
Here are few of my ongoing and Completed projects.

AuthNet: An authentication mechanism based on facial features

Developed a bio-metrics based authentication mechanism to authenticate users based on facial feature movements when uttering a passphrase. The proposed method achieves a state of the art Equal Error Rate of 0.023 on the MIRACL-VC1 dataset. Accepted for publication at the 35th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Student Abstract and Poster Program 2021


Hurricane Warning System

An android app to detect the reach of various hurricanes affecting the world. This uses real time data collected by satellites and weather organizations from across the word. The data is then analyzed by a pre trained Random Forrest Regression model to detect the presence of a hurricane and its reach. It then warns users who are in this region and guides the users to a set of precautionary measures.

Automated Mess Management

A mobile app and a portal with a built in QR-Code Scanner to automate mess attendance and Management and make it more efficient

Activities

Extra Curriculars

I truely belive a student is characterized by both by their curricular and Extra Curriculars. Extra Curriculars build up a person's ability to socialize and work as a part of a group.

Incident Organizing committee.

Incident is the annual cultural festival of the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) in Surathkal, Karnataka, India. The fest is a five-day-long event during the even semester of the NITK Calendar held in the month of March. The fest brings together students from different colleges all over India and is composed of several competitive events as well as pro-shows by big artists including Sunidhi Chauhan, Salim-Sulaiman, the duo of Vishal-Shekhar and Javed Ali. Incident is belived to be the second biggest cultural fest in India (after Mood Indigo) due to the sheer scale and number of events hosted.
