As an academic leader at BITS Pilani, I led a period of transformational growth, tripling the academic program portfolio and doubling both partnering organizations and student enrolments. I designed and implemented a 3-year IT roadmap, cloud-based lab environments and pioneered the introduction of the Product Management function within the Institute. Additionally, I drove key efforts within a startup-style incubation team to design high-impact education models and build end-to-end business strategies - across finance, talent, infrastructure and academics, resulting in the launch of BITS Pilani Digital.
As an interdisciplinary innovator, I focus on AI-driven geriatric healthcare systems, pioneering solutions such as fall detection and sleep apnea monitoring models. My work emphasizes power efficiency, scalability for real-world deployment, and clinical-grade accuracy, addressing critical needs in elder care through applied AI. I have authored 15+ publications blending AI, IoT, and healthcare for intelligent geriatric monitoring systems.
In parallel, I have led several faculty development workshops in data science, AI/ML, and networking, strengthening institutional capabilities at scale. I have also served as a mentor and teacher to over 3000 professionals in advanced technical domains, directly enabling workforce upskilling and capacity building.
