About Me.

Data Scientist

I thrive on tackling new research challenges. My work primarily focuses on developing ML-based route update schemes for next-generation IoT networks, creating fault-tolerant routing protocols for network-on-chip architectures, and designing ML-based routing schemes for optical and wireless NoCs.
Additionally, I specialize in extracting and interpreting data from company databases to enhance marketing efforts, drive product innovation, and refine overall business strategies. My expertise includes utilizing predictive modeling techniques to maximize revenue growth, optimize marketing initiatives, and enhance customer experiences. I am adept at creating and executing A/B testing frameworks to assess and improve model performance. Furthermore, I collaborate with various teams to deploy data-driven strategies and monitor their effectiveness
