Building clinical AI that stays accurate, calibrated and fair when it moves between hospitals.
I'm a final-year student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras (BS in Data Science and Applications) and at Gujarat Technological University (B.E. Honours in Computer Engineering), a Health Science student at University of the People, and a research intern with MIT Critical Data at the MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology.
My work spans cardiology and stroke risk prediction, neuroimaging and EEG, and diagnostic-accuracy meta-analysis. Recent projects examine referral bias across catheterization laboratories, fairness in stroke risk models, and graph neural networks for pre-operative fMRI. This work has been accepted at AHA Scientific Sessions, ASH, TCT, ACG, SVIN and CNS, with papers in IEEE and Springer proceedings. I'm applying for thesis-based graduate programmes in clinical AI and medical imaging for Fall 2027.
