Building intelligent systems for health and science.
I develop multimodal AI for cancer research and partner with teams on applied machine learning, computer vision, and research engineering projects.
About Me
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Cancer Sciences at Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Scotland Institute and the University of Glasgow, under the guidance of Prof. Crispin Miller and Prof. Kevin Blyth. My research focuses on understanding cell interactions within the tumor microenvironment using computational and machine learning methods, specifically developing methods to combine spatial transcriptomics and histopathology image modalities using deep learning. I am also part of the PREDICT-Meso project, a European consortium dedicated to exploring the early stages of mesothelioma development.
Previously, I completed a Master's by Research at IIIT Hyderabad, working with the Cancer Diagnostics (DIAG) lab under Prof. Vinod P.K. and Prof. C.V. Jawahar. My research focused on deep learning-based automated classification of tumors using histopathology images.
I am passionate about addressing critical challenges in medical sciences through artificial intelligence, with a focus on cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Alongside my research, I work with research groups, startups, and product teams on selected AI consulting and freelance projects, particularly in machine learning, computer vision, and research engineering.
