Alumni

I am a recent Engineering Management graduate student specializing in Data Science at Northeastern. My curiosity in human-machine cooperation, ethical use of technology and computational social science motivated me to join the CoMM Lab at Network Science Institute. My primary research focus lies in developing smart room technologies and assistive AI agents that can help track group dynamics and enhance team performance. With ambitions of pursuing a PhD I involve myself at CoMM Lab to study contemporary social science / HCI research papers, develop quantitative research methodologies and break-down elusive yet ubiquitous peak performance phenomena such as brain coupling, flow states and behavioral entrainment. I am proficient in machine learning and deep learning skills for multiple applications including Data Mining, Natural Language Processing, Informational Chatbots, Computer Vision.

I received my B.S. in Electronics Engineering from University of Mumbai. During this period, I developed several electronic device prototypes from scratch (particularly proud of, Sign Language Interpreter for Deaf-Mute Individuals) and employed predictive analytic techniques to grow a restaurant business. I enjoy techno-managerial positions. I am a resilient Flow-Goer with the ability to morph my position to suit any environment from business to research.

Off-work, learning is my recreation. I am a self-taught coder. Avid reader of nonfiction ranging from religion, spirituality, self-society development and philosophy.  Novice Salsa Dancer. Great Cook. Fitness Enthusiast.
