AI/ML Researcher · Medical Imaging & Neurovascular AI · PhD in Physics
Building deep learning systems that help clinicians detect strokes faster.

I'm an AI/ML Researcher at Nuvo AI, where I'm a core contributor to NeuralIQ — a clinical AI platform for stroke neurovascular care.

My work sits at the intersection of deep learning and high-stakes clinical decision-making: building, validating, and deploying AI pipelines that operate directly in hospital reading rooms, helping radiologists detect hemorrhages, identify vessel occlusions, and decide on treatment in minutes rather than hours.

I hold a PhD in Physics from VNIT Nagpur, which gives me an unusual edge: I approach ML problems with the rigour of a scientist and the pragmatism of an engineer.
