She works as a Research Assistant at BU&#8217;s Center for Brain Recovery, where she develops machine learning pipelines to predict therapy improvement outcomes in post-stroke aphasia patients, advised by Dr. Swathi Kiran with conceptual guidance from Dr. Prakash Ishwar. Her research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and healthcare, with prior work spanning ICU risk prediction (acute kidney injury onset using MIMIC-IV data), FDA adverse-event analysis for medical device recall prediction, and clinical text classification. She also worked as a Data Science intern at TriNetX, where she optimized LLM-based prompts for clinical classification tasks. She holds a Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate certification and has a research publication in the Exploratio Journal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Applying ML to healthcare outcomes prediction<\/li>\n<li data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Intersection of clinical data, causal\/ predictive modeling, and model reliability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26101,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/12653"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/12653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12655,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/12653\/revisions\/12655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
