NALA Profile

Personal Interest

I strongly believe that magic happens at the intersection of multiple fields. My research interests lie at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Medicine. My goal is to leverage the potential of Machine Learning in many interdisciplinary fields, including Medical Imaging Diagnosis & Computational Genomics. As a long-term goal, I want to build systems to assist healthcare clinicians in detecting and preventing life-threatening diseases and neurological disorders. I wanna contribute to the LSAMP Alumni Group by mentoring and helping students from underserved sections of the society especially minorities and women in STEM.

Past Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of the two fields closest to my heart: Medicine and Artificial Intelligence. I’m a full stack developer who’s deeply enthusiastic about leveraging Deep Learning to perform diagnosis and prognosis of healthcare usecases like breast cancer detection, Alzheimer’s prediction, pre-term birth. I’ve worked upon various ML use cases in the financial domain like customer churn analysis, anomaly detection using exception data, building conversational AI chatbot using RASA, training/evaluating/tuning a 3 layer CNN in an AWS deep racer league.
