Description
I am 25 years old and doing my Master degree from the Aalto University School of Science. I have completed my Bachelor of Technology degree in India from NITK Surathkal, located in the southern part of India in the city of Mangalore.
My specialization is in the field of Machine Learning and Data Mining. I have been working in the Environmental and Industrial Machine Learning (EIML) group since September 2010.
My hobbies: I love music and play the keyboard and piano. I have participated in some of the musical shows at my previous college. I also love travelling, tasting different kinds of cuisine, and reading novels.
Research
During the summer of 2009, I was working on the K Nearest Neighbourhood Problem .There exists a brute force approach to solve this problem. However, this method could be parallelized on multiple GPUs using the new parallel architecture developed by NVIDIA called CUDA. I was working under the supervision of Docent Amaury Lendasse, PostDoc Researcher Yoan Miche and PhD student Mark van Heeswijk.
During 2010-2011, I was working on a project which deals with the Spatio-Temporal Modeling Applied to the Marine Ecosystem of the Baltic Sea, under the supervision of postdoctoral reserchers Federico and Francesco who are also in the EIML group.
Being a music lover, I am currently interested in Music Information Retrieval, which deals with the application of machine learning to music. It is a rapidly emerging multidisciplinary field.
