Beyond publications — working ML deployments, open-source notebooks, and interactive demos. Research that ships.
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at UCLouvain, Belgium, deploying generative AI models — VAEs and Diffusion Models — for multimodal machine learning and inverse design of materials.
I completed my Ph.D. at INST-IISER Mohali, India, building AI-integrated piezo-, tribo-, and flexo-electric sensors for digital health. As a Raman-Charpak Fellow at IMS, University of Bordeaux, I developed Voiceprint Biometrics, e-skin Respirometers, and Emotion Sensing devices.
My research spans AI for Materials, MLIP, Self-Driving Laboratories, Quantum ML, and Wearable Sensor Systems. I serve on the Editorial Advisory Board of APL Machine Learning and as Guest Editor for Nanotechnology (IOP).
