Refresh to render Ashish in new envs

I am currently a PhD student in the Computational Precision Health (CPH) program at UC Berkeley and UCSF.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning, with applications in healthcare and scientific discovery. I am particularly interested in developing novel algorithms and leveraging recent advances in representation learning, generative modeling, and geometric deep learning to develop robust and interpretable AI systems dedicated to transforming healthcare, particularly in precision medicine and drug discovery.

I hold an MSc (thesis) in Computer Science from Simon Fraser University, where I worked with Prof. Ghassan Hamarneh, and a Bachelor’s in Materials Science from IIT Roorkee.

Previously, I was an ML Resident at AMII, an ML Researcher at Huawei’s Noah’s Ark Lab, a Risk Analyst at Wells Fargo, a Research Engineer at Preferred Networks, and an intern with Prof. Jonghyun Choi and Prof. Jose Dolz.

If you are interested in my work, have opportunities, or would like to collaborate, please feel free to reach out.
