About Me

Hi, I am currently working as a Research Assistant under the direction of Dr. Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula at the Spectrum Lab, IISc. My research work focuses on Biomedical Imaging using Deep Neural Networks and Image Processing techniques. My colleagues and I are developing a one-stop end to end AI abnormality detection platform for Healthcare, a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. During my undergraduate years, I worked on developing an automatic segmentation algorithm to delineate the lumen intima layer of common carotid arteries under the supervision of Prof. Harish Kumar.

Apart from work, I relish cooking, snapshotting, and watching Formula 1.

Experience

Intern

QPIAI

Apr 2020 – Sep 2020 Bangalore

Developed an end to end cloud-based AI platform to analyse the trails generated by Wireless capsule endoscope; a typical WCE procedure generates about 50 to 100K images. My work entailed designing and setting up the pipeline, which pre-processes the video, followed by the classification and segmentation tasks. Ultimately, selecting about 50 clinically relevant representative images per patient indicating the type of abnormality, which is then referred to the gastroenterologist for further examination.

I briefly worked on an IMPRINT project funded by the Government of India. The goal was to segment Optic Disc and Optic Cup using the neural architecture search based techniques. Next, I worked on a collaborative project with QPIAI to develop a cloud-based AI Healthcare platform. At present, I am applying Few Shot Learning models to segment gastrointestinal disorders and abnormalities in the trails generated by the wireless capsule endoscope under a project supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Dec 2018 – Jun 2019 Manipal

I worked on a medical imaging project for my undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Prof. Harish Kumar. We proposed a fully automated method for the segmentation of the lumen intima layer of the common carotid artery by optimizing a locally defined contrast function of an active oblong followed by post-processing using various image processing techniques.
