About Me

I'm a PhD student in ML & HCI at HKUST 

I work on training, creating real and synthetic datasets for finetuning LLMs  , text to video models and more.

Some of the awards I've won over the years are listed below :

My friend Chaitanya and I won the 2nd Place Grand Award under the Biomedical Engineering Category this year at the Intel ISEF.Our project was SAMIS, which is an android app that applies image processing algorithms on images captured using a standard smartphone for vein imaging.SAMIS was built to aid doctors and nurses during intravenous injections.

The journey so far has been a one with lot of excitement and learning.We've learnt so much together and can't wait to get SAMIS is it's final shape before releasing it to the world!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory’s Ceres Connection Award: 

(Received an award which comes with the honor of having an asteroid named after the awardee)

Our project won the 2nd Place Grand Award in the Biomedical Engineering Category which comes with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory’s Ceres Connection award under which the names of first and second place category award winners at Intel ISEF will be submitted to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for a once in a lifetime naming of a minor planet.

Intel IRIS National Science Fair 2016 Grand Award Winner/Intel ISEF 2017 Team India Finalist:

Team India ISEF 2017

My friend Chaitanya and I are proud to be a part of Team India for ISEF 2017 to be held at Los Angeles,California.

We built SAMIS , which is a Smartphone Aided Multispectral Imaging System. IRIS is India's largest science fair out of which 20 Grand Award Winners are selected to participate at ISEF 2017 as Team India.We are getting SAMIS in its final shape.Stay tuned in for more updates. 

Speaker at TEDxManipalUniversity :

It was in my 7th Grade that I first watched a TED Talk , it was a talk about Pranav Mistry Unveiling his Sixth Sense Technology device at TED.I was amazed at the Computer Vision techniques he had implemented and the tasks he was able to perform with it.Watching this TED talk, inspired me to go in search of more TED talks.From then, I've been watching different talks both TED & TEDx talks based on Technology, Math, Astrophysics etc.They've been a source of inspiration for me at times when I start to work on solving real world problems.

This year I've been selected as a Speaker to give a talk at TEDxManipalUniversity where I will be speaking on 'Using Technology To Solve Real World Problems' by giving examples from the projects that I've worked on, which includes a wearable digital microscope,  gesture based tool for the visually impaired , wearable communication device for the mutes etc.
