Work and Research Experience

Early-Doc Fellow

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India
2025-Present
  • Intelligent Search Systems: Built NLP and LLM-powered search systems with RAG for advanced query handling, PostgreSQL-driven structured insights, and large-scale automation on 1 lakh+ scientific research articles with 83% precision.
  • Generative AI: Engineered a GAN-based spectral translation model that converted diffraction-limited patterns into fully resolved Raman spectra with nearly 89% accuracy, enabling high-fidelity molecular feature recovery, enhanced resolution, and reliable chemical identification from low-cost, grating-free spectrometers.
  • Advanced AI Models: Implemented efficient ML models (GANs and Transformers) in Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch with production-grade Docker deployment on HPC, achieving 87%+ consistency across inference pipelines.

Research during PhD

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India
2019-2025
  • Generative AI & Deep Learning: Applied generative AI, deep learning, and advanced data analytics to address challenges of weak signals, spectral complexity, and noise in experimental datasets with an accuracy of 92%
  • ML Model Development: Developed models for classification and regression tasks, automated complex data interpretation, and improved resolution and feature extraction through GANs and deep neural networks
  • Data Framework Design: Built frameworks for handling and representing large, high-dimensional data, enabling predictive insights and robust decision-making
  • Computational Strategies: Integrated computational strategies using Python, MATLAB, and developed in-house codes, alongside physics-informed models, to simulate and optimize light–matter interactions and smart substrate design
  • Patent Achievement: This research led to a patent on enhancing data resolution using generative AI-driven methods
