Professional Experience

Deep Learning Scientist

May 2022 - Present

Comparative Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Laboratory

  • Automated the frame extraction process from training videos and incorporated them to train a transformer-based deep network to map the hip, knee, and ankle joints.
  • Developed post processing script for peak detection and normalization of knee-flexion angle from the transformer network output.
  • Integrated the workflow to connect Data Acquisition Unit (DAQ) with an amplifier and developed signal processing scripts for analyzing electromyographic signal data to map the network inferred data.
  • Scripting FDA using PCA analysis for the GAIT data and prediction of time series data with machine learning models.
  • Quantification of muscle fibers using UNET model

Graduate Researcher

January 2022 - April 2022

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

  • Implemented the code to collect dataset for different orientations of the KUKA iiwa7 manipulator with Blender.
  • Built an auto-encoder network to process the KUKA dataset and produce 7 belief maps, one each for every joint (key points).
  • Combined the resultant 2D belief maps with the known camera intrinsics of the Toyota HSR robot and forward kinematics of KUKA using OpenCV PnP to get the relative pose of the base of KUKA w.r.t HSR frame.

Graduate Instructor

October 2021 - March 2022

Web Developer

June 2015 - December 2019

Sanaz Technologies, India

  • Developed websites in HTML/CSS/Bootstrap, Django, and WordPress
  • Reviewed websites and producing reports for their website optimization
  • Integrated on-page, technical and off-page seo techniques to increase the ranking of the website on Google
