About Me

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at IIT Bombay, where I specialize in drug discovery using artificial intelligence. My research is at the intersection of AI and biomedicine, where I am focused on leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI, deep learning, and machine learning to revolutionize the way we discover and develop new drugs. In my current work, I aim to accelerate the drug discovery process by developing AI-driven models that can predict potential drug candidates, optimize drug design, and simulate drug interactions with unprecedented accuracy. My goal is to contribute to the development of personalized medicine and innovative treatments that can make a tangible difference in healthcare.
