To err is human - and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

About Me

I am a graduate student in the Joint CMU-Pitt Computational Biology PhD Program. I am advised by Robert F. Murphy and Gustavo K. Rohde at Carnegie Mellon University.

I work at the Lane Center for Computational Biology, School of Computer Science and I am affiliated to the Center for Bioimage Informatics.

Currently, I work on developing methods for automatically acquiring information on the dynamic processes in cell and tissues from fluorescence microscopy images. I am interested in Machine Learning and Registration for High Content Screening of biomedical images.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Industrial Biotechnology from Anna University, Chennai, India. I did my undergraduate thesis work with Dr. Upinder S. Bhalla at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India.

Apart from research, I enjoy running, playing tennis and ping pong, and love all kinds of music and drama.
