01 — About

Engineering depth.
Human purpose.

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from IIT (BHU), Varanasi, where my research examined transfer learning for COVID-19 classification and weakly supervised cardiac MRI segmentation. My MTech is from NIT Kurukshetra, my BTech from GBTU Lucknow.

Today I serve as Assistant Professor, Big Data Analytics at Goa Institute of Management, designing and delivering analytics, AI, and healthcare-focused courses for the next generation of data-informed managers.

My work sits at the crossroads of responsible AI system design, clinical decision support, and management education — with a constant thread of translating rigorous research into real-world action.
