About me
Hi, Iām Aheli (my name literally translates to āGraceā )!
Iām currently a final year undergrad in Electrical Engineering at IEM Kolkata. My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, data science and their applications in sustainability, healthcare and economic forecasting.
Iāve interned at IIT Roorkee, Acencore, IEM Labs, KIT Germany where I worked on projects ranging from economic growth nowcasting, recommendation systems, Quantum Optimization Algorithms to IoT-ML in medical diagnostics. I enjoy building and optimizing AI models that solve real-world problems, and Iām always looking for opportunities to learn and collaborate!Ā
When Iām not building models or diving into data, youāll probably find me doing something creative or competitive. I used to be an inter-district swimmer and I still get a thrill from staying up late to catch Euro league matches (sleep schedule who?). Music is a big part of my life. Iām trained in Hindustani classical and Rabindra Sangeet and nothing beats unwinding with a good raga or Tagore song (check out my Spotify).
I love painting and writing and Iām always hunting for the next great film (avid cinephile alert! check out my letterboxd)Ā
