Sourav Kumar Ghosh

Co-Director of Communication

About Me:
I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, originally from Bangladesh. My work lies at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and healthcare analytics, with a focus on building intelligent tools to support clinical decision-making. I am currently developing OmniDoc, a digital medical assistant designed to analyze both structured and unstructured clinical data to detect rare chest pain outcomes and support physicians. I’m actively involved in leadership and community engagement through COGS, the ECE Graduate Student Group, and CAUSE, where I help organize academic, cultural, and professional development events to support and connect graduate students.

My Responsibilities:
As Co-Director of Communication, I will manage and enhance communication strategies across platforms, support event promotion and outreach, and help ensure international graduate students stay informed, involved, and connected within the university community.

Why I'm Passionate About the Council of International Graduate Students:
As an international student myself, I understand how important it is to feel seen, supported, and included. I’m passionate about helping fellow international graduate students feel a sense of belonging by promoting cross-cultural dialogue, offering meaningful programming, and creating inclusive spaces that reflect our diverse experiences.

Key Achievements:

• Graduate Research Assistant on OmniDoc, an AI assistant for physicians

• Presenter at the 2024 Medtronic Poster Symposium, Mounds View, MN

• CSE Community Impact Award Winner, 2025

• 2nd Place Winner, 5th and 6th Annual Interdisciplinary Health Data Competition, UMN

Fun Facts:
I love hiking and have climbed to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m) and Kanamo Peak (5,975 m).

I'm also a big fan of cooking, with mutton biriyani, BBQ chicken, and rice pudding among my favorite dishes.

In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, cricket, tennis, and table tennis!
