I am Postdoc Research Associate (PDRA) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow under the supervision of Prof. Nikolaj Gadegaard. My role is to make a leading contribution to the £4.32 million EU Project “SUMO: Supervised morphogenesis in gastruloids” (funded by European Innovation Council) as an AI researcher.

Before the current PDRA position, I was PDRA in three different projects, PDRA in Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering (CUE), under the supervision of Prof. James Windmill. My role was to investigate the use of neuromorphic (NM) event-based sensing, spike train encoding and Spiking Neural Network (SNN) based processing and to develop a multi-modal sensor module capable of detecting and identifying incoming vehicles, through the real-time analysis of acoustic signals. The project is funded by Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Ministry of Defence, U.K. PDRA under the supervision of Prof. Harald Haas (Father of LiFi) in the LiFi Research and Development Centre (LRDC). My role was of a software research engineer to develop and implement AI/ML algorithms on the novel REASON 6G (Realising Enabling Architectures and Solutions for Open Networks) architecture and platforms. PDRA under the supervision of Dr. Michele Zagnoni in Centre for Microsystems & Photonics (CMP). This postdoc was aimed at creating new software using existing image data sets from biological assays and analyse such images to develop a machine-learning algorithm for characterizing the response of in vitro models to treatments and to automate and develop protocols for Opentrons liquid handling robot.

Before being a PostDoc Research Associate, I completed my Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Vision & Deep Learning) and PgCert (Researcher Professional Development) from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, in 2022 under the able guidance/supervision of Dr. Lykourgos Petropoulakis, Dr. Gaetano Di Caterina and Prof. John J. Soraghan as my doctoral research advisor. During the PhD tenure I was based in the Centre for Signal and Image Processing (CeSIP).

Before pursuing PhD, I did Master of Technology (Integrated) and Bachelor of Technology (Honours) in Electronics & Communication Engineering from ITM University, Gwalior. Er. Sumit Mohanty was my supervisor during my Master of Technology dissertation. I passed my 12th (CBSE 2011) and 10th (CBSE 2009) standard examinations from Saint Joseph’s Convent Senior Secondary School, Ratlam. I am also an alumnus of D.A.V. Public School, Kusmunda.

I am also a Chartered Engineer granted by The Institution of Engineers (India) and also an Associate Member (AMIE, Membership no. AM170213-3) of The Institution of Engineers (India). Further, I am a Member (MIET, Membership no. 1100577551) of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, London, United Kingdom and Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, USA (MIEEE, Membership no. 94255601). I am also a life member of The Indian Science Congress Association (Membership no. L32125). Moreover, I am a licentiate member of the Institution of Valuers (India), (Membership no. L-26713) and an Associate Member (AMIETE) of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (Membership no. AM500656).
