All About Me
All About Me
Hey there! 👋 Welcome to my Portfolio website!👩💻I am Ayshika (ऐशिका) , a passionate and dedicated PhD student on an exciting journey of knowledge and exploration. With a keen interest in federated learning, deep learning, machine learning, graph clustering, and urban sensing, my research fuels my curiosity to unlock new possibilities in these fields. Through my academic pursuits, I've honed some pretty cool skills in data analysis📶, programming👩🏼💻, and various machine learning and deep learning techniques🧠. It's been an exhilarating experience to work on projects💻 that challenge my intellect and push the boundaries of what's possible. Aside from my academic pursuits, I firmly believe in the importance of maintaining a good work-life balance. I cherish the moments spent with family and friends, and I make a conscious effort to create time for the things that bring me joy. My hobbies play a significant role in rejuvenating my mind, and you'll often find me immersed in photography📷, capturing the beauty of the world🌎 through my lens. Painting🎨 and creating intricate mandala art✎, also hold a special place in my heart, providing a sense of solace and creativity. As a lifelong learner, I'm always seeking new knowledge and experiences to broaden my horizons.
