Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the School of Artificial Intelligence & Data Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, India. Before starting my current position at IIT Ropar, I worked as a Research Fellow at Hasso Plattner Institute, Berlin (2022-2023, Adjunct Fellow: 2023-2024) and as a Research Scientist at A*STAR, Singapore (2020-2022, Visiting Scientist: 2022-2023). I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore where my work (nominated for the outstanding PhD thesis award) focused on studying the functional architecture of the human brain. Specifically, I developed methods to study the brain in different states, viz. resting, during task performance and neuropsychiatric diseases. I obtained a B. Eng. in Computer Science from Punjab Engineering College (PEC), India where the institute awarded me with the Institute Color for research activities during my UG.

I work in the AI in Healthcare domain where I develop models to study different types of biological/medical data. I am interested in pursuing collaborations with clinicians, trying to work in the clinical workflow that can be solved using computational techniques. I have collaborations spanning different countries in different domains in computer science and medicine and am always on the lookout for dedicated PhD/Master level students.
