About

I previously worked as a researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I integrated AI with Molecular Dynamics software (LAMMPS) via MLMOD, testing AI models to enhance simulations in material science. During my Research at IIT Guwahati, I developed and evaluated metrics for AI-based data annotations, gaining valuable experience in optimizing AI performance. Beyond academics, I co-founded Treats, an IoT-based smart pet collar startup, and served as the Director of Societies for Olympism, the official sports club of Manipal University Jaipur, where I was recognized for my exemplary contributions. I bring technical expertise in AI/ML, IoT, and software development, with a passion for interdisciplinary research and innovation. In addition to my technical pursuits, I was a national-level basketball player and held the role of Creative Head for the Rotary Club, where I honed my leadership and teamwork skills.
