Picture
I am an associate machine learning scientist at the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii). I am passionate about developing machine learning algorithms to solve real world problems at the intersection of precision oncology, digital health and medical big-data. I completed my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA. Previously, I completed my Masters in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, specializing in statistical signal processing and machine learning, from IIT Guwahati, India. I did my undergrad (B. Tech) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar, Punjab. I developed strong analytical, programming and technical communication skills through my work at the crossroads of machine learning, signal and image processing, and computational cancer research.

Updates
  • I recently co-organized an international competition on multi-organ nuclei segmentation and classification (MoNuSAC) at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging 2020. This competition will push state-of-the-art in generalized segmentation of tumor nuclei and tumor associated immune cells. Click here for challenge details. 
  • I previously co-organized an international competition on multi-organ nuclei segmentation (MoNuSeg) from H&E stained tissue images at MICCAI 2018 where 32 teams from 11 countries made to the final rankings.​​​​
