My background is in developing algorithms using the latest image processing and computer vision technologies to harness the power in medical imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, Digital pathology images, and so on to deliver various scientific insights. I have always been thrilled about using cutting-edge technology to transform drug discovery and personalise medicine for patients.

At Carnegie Mellon University, my focus was on computational neuroscience. My research was on understanding the early visual cortex using simulation and deep learning technologies while obtaining my master’s in biomedical engineering.

I stepped into the industry as a consultant with Definiens in 2018. We partnered with various pharmaceutical industries to develop imaging solutions for digital pathology images to deliver insights to Immuno-oncology studies.

In 2019, I joined AstraZeneca as Senior Data Scientist in Data Science and AI. I have contributed to a variety of R&D functions to identify digital imaging biomarkers, accelerate pre-clinical studies, and stratify patient populations based on baseline characteristics. I have had the chance to collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and contribute towards the common goal of transforming patient lives using digital technologies.


I am thrilled to be in the center of innovation and work every day with diverse individuals to find novel solutions to key scientific challenges. The highlight of my work is applying the latest and innovative technologies in the field of computing to drive innovation in the biopharmaceutical industry.
