I am a Biomedical Engineer at SCGPM responsible for technologies and applications at Genetics Bioinformatics Service Center. I have a background in Physics and Astronomy and started my career at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA where I was part of the Chandra X-ray Center and involved in analyzing spectral data of sun like stars. As the PI of my own NASA grant I continued working in the field of xray spectroscopy at the Space Science Labs at UC Berkeley. It was while working on a project to predict solar flares at the Stanford Solar Center that I got interested in machine learning and data science.
More recently I was part of Pritchard Lab at in the Genetics department at the Stanford, where I helped develop SciReader a recommendation engine for biomedical literature. I am interested in machine learning and mathematical modeling and now venturing more deeply into using Cloud computing techniques in Computational Biology.
I have a MS in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and completed my graduate coursework in Applied Math at the University of Texas in Austin.
