Experience
Where I've worked
Research, regulation and electronics across India and the UK.
Jun 2026 – Present
KTP Associatecurrent
University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom
- Developing a smart mattress through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the University of Huddersfield and an industry partner. This research is ongoing.
Mar 2025 – Mar 2026
Research Collaborator
University of Bath, United Kingdom
- Collected and pre-processed wrist data from human participants using an 8-channel Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) imaging sensor.
- Built a deep learning (Multi-Layer Perceptron) model to classify wrist gestures, and proposed wavelet transforms to reveal hidden frequency patterns.
- Contributed to ongoing research, with future work focused on detecting stroke using MIT sensors.
Mar 2025 – Mar 2026
Senior Electronic Technician
University of Bath, United Kingdom
- Supported undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students with their projects in PCB design, 3D printing, laser cutting and electronic circuits.
- Delivered an Arduino session for the "Girls into Electronics" programme run by the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF).
- Trained students and visitors on lab equipment and safe research practice, and created an asset management system for the lab.
Jan 2024 – Aug 2024
Student Researcher (MSc Thesis)
University of Dundee, United Kingdom
- Generated synthetic CT images from CBCT scans of the brain using a Conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (CDDPM), to reduce repeated CT scans during radiotherapy planning.
- Compared approaches with and without the conditional CBCT image, using a model architecture built with residual blocks.
- Evaluated results with MSE, PSNR and SSIM, showing an improvement in image quality.
Mar 2021 – Aug 2022
Student Researcher
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, India
- Developed a correlation-based breast cancer detection method, achieving 98.6% accuracy across a comparison of five machine learning classifiers.
- Built a face mask identification system by fine-tuning pretrained CNNs (MobileNetV2, VGG16), achieving 89% accuracy.
- Published both studies at IEEE conferences and presented them to academics and industry experts.
Jul 2021 – Jul 2023
Research Fellow, Medical Devices & Regulatory Affairs
Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), India
- Led a team preparing technical documentation for the regulatory approval of Class I and Class II medical devices, in line with ISO 13485 and ISO 14971.
- Worked with the Bureau of Indian Standards on developing standards for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, and co-authored a book on medical device standards.
- Delivered training on government regulatory approval processes to interns at the organisation.
Jan 2019 – Mar 2020
Student Inventor
National Engineering College, India
- Pitched a smart anti-theft luggage idea and secured funding from the Government of India through the university incubation council.
- Designed and built the system with fingerprint access, GPS tracking and an alarm, using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, a GSM module and a mobile app.
- Presented the invention at exhibitions and, with my team, was granted an Indian patent.
