I am an independent researcher working on building reliable and trustworthy ML systems for healthcare applications. Specifically, I work on methods for interpretable model uncertainty and robust performance under distribution shifts.
Previously, I was fortunate to work with Dr. Surya Prasath at Univ. of Cincinnati, Dr. Leland K Werden at ETH Zürich, Dr. Min Xu at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and Dr. J. Sivaswamy at IIIT Hyderabad. I also worked as a Software Engineer at Tech Mahindra.
Feel free to reach out to discuss research ideas or potential collaborations.
