Background

I am a technologist, who is passionate about building innovative solutions to challenging problems. A small selection of projects I have worked on are listed on the Projects page. I am currently a Senior Scientist at Siemens Medical Solutions, building solutions which combine the power of modern Medical Imaging with Computational Physics and Machine Learning. The goal is to go beyond anatomical quantification to patient-specific functional quantification, for better diagnosis and therapy planning.

I received my Undergraduate and Masters education in Chemical Engineering, with a focus on Applied Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and earned my Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering concentrating on Computational Science from the Johns Hopkins University, America’s first Research University. I did my Postdoctoral research in the Computational Earth Sciences group at LANL, in beautiful Los Alamos.
