Professional Experience
-
2021 - Present Advanced Computer Scientist
SRI, Princeton, New Jersey - ARPA-H PARADIGM - Leading the medical object detection and segmentation effort, and working towards a LLM-based task guidance and planning system to help inexperienced healthcare providers in low-resource rural settings.
- DARPA CCU - Developed automated modules for facial analysis, scene understanding and LLM-based dialogue assessment to help improve operator situational awareness and interactional effectiveness in various cross-cultural settings.
- DARPA EDGE - Developed an emotion recognition and feedback pipeline to help design better human machine interfaces (HMI) for better operator situational awareness in off-nominal situations.
- NSF - Served as the co-PI and developed automated student group collaboration assessment and recommendation systems by modeling individual-level and group-level behaviors in online and in-person classroom settings.
- Commercial - Created and implemented proof-of-concepts and functional prototypes that helped Fortune 500 clients explore new product opportunities and drive innovation.
Pre-Doctoral Experience
-
2020 Research Intern
SRI, Princeton, New Jersey - Developed deep-learning-based algorithms for multimodal behavior analysis and assessment of student group collaboration in classroom and online settings. The deep-learning models were designed with the objective of providing meaningful information to teachers and actionable feedback to students.
-
2019 Digital Pathology Intern
Roche Diagnostics, Santa Clara, California - Developed deep-learning-based image segmentation pipelines to identify regions of necrosis in multiplex immunofluorescence digital pathology images. Worked closely with the software platform team to integrate the trained deep-learning model on the internal research software platform for enabling Field-Of-View (FOV) and Whole-Slide-Image (WSI) inference.
-
2018 Computation Intern
Lawrence Livermore National Lab., Livermore, California - Developed time-series-based deep-learning algorithms to model electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of different heart disease conditions. Proposed and implemented several strategies to handle the data-imbalance problem across the different heart disease categories.
