Anayat is strongest in developing practical systems for complex operational problems, including scheduling, technical-support workflows, and interpretable clinical machine-learning models. In research, Anayat designed and evaluated a multi-objective evolutionary rule-induction system using NSGA-II genetic programming across 15 pathologies and training datasets ranging from 20,000 to 1 million patient records on the DDXPlus clinical diagnosis benchmark. Anayat built the Python research pipeline and ran multi-seed experiments on Purdue’s Gilbreth and Gautschi HPC clusters. At Purdue Information Technology, Anayat provided support for Brightspace and other campus systems, triaged and escalated tickets, coordinated student-worker project flow, and contributed experience with AI integration in ticketing workflows. Anayat also built scheduling solutions using greedy and breadth-first-search approaches, with C++ for core logic and Python for deployment. Anayat is proficient in Python, JavaScript, and C++ and completed studies at Purdue University in May 2024 while continuing to focus on AI and machine learning. ## Highlights - Designed and evaluated a multi-objective evolutionary rule-induction system using NSGA-II genetic programming for clinical diagnosis research at Purdue University. - Benchmarked the rule-induction system against RIPPER and CART across 15 pathologies on the DDXPlus clinical diagnosis benchmark. - Evaluated models at three training scales: 20,000, 50,000, and 1 million patient records. - Built the full clinical-research pipeline in Python using DEAP, scikit-learn, wittgenstein, and mutual-information feature selection. - Ran multi-seed experiments on Purdue’s Gilbreth and Gautschi HPC clusters. - Implemented strongly typed Boolean expression-tree rule representations. - Created a dual-objective fitness function balancing F1 score with rule complexity. - Implemented memetic local-search refinement and post-hoc logical simplification for the rule-induction system. - Provided faculty technical support for Learning Management Systems and external tools including Brightspace and Pearson at Purdue Information Technology. - Triaged Purdue IT support tickets and escalated issues to engineers when needed. - Managed project flow and facilitated collaboration among student workers to improve office efficiency at Purdue IT. - Developed an information database to address organizational issues and improve office knowledge sharing. - Gained experience with AI integration in a Purdue IT ticketing workflow. - Built the backend scheduling component of a group transportation management system. - Created a professor-and-classroom scheduling algorithm that addressed exponential complexity with greedy and breadth-first-search approaches. - Used C++ for scheduling-system logic and Python for deployment. - Configured and troubleshot application systems at BSNL LTD to support performance and high availability. - Developed hands-on experience in network security, services management, troubleshooting, network management, and optical-fiber splicing at BSNL LTD. - Completed a telecom internship focused on application hosting and server configuration using Python and JavaScript. - Proficient in Python, JavaScript, and C++. - Earned a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Purdue University Fort Wayne. - Earned a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from the Central University of Kashmir in Srinagar. - Graduated from Purdue University in May 2024. ## Experience - **Graduate Student Researcher at Purdue University** (2025-05-01–2026-05-01) — \- Designed and evaluated a multi-objective evolutionary rule-induction system \(NSGA-II genetic programming\) against two classical baselines \(RIPPER, CART\) across 15 pathologies and three training scales \(20K, 50K, and 1M patient records\) on the DDXPlus clinical diagnosis benchmark. - Built the full pipeline in Python using DEAP for evolutionary search, scikit-learn and wittgenstein for baseline models, and mutual-information feature selection, running multi-seed experiments on Purdue's Gilbreth and Gautschi HPC clusters. - Implemented strongly-typed Boolean expression-tree rule representations, a dual-objective fitness function balancing F1 score and rule complexity, memetic local-search refinement, and post-hoc logical simplification. - **Senior Information Technology Assistant at Purdue Information Technology** (2025-05-01–2026-05-01) — Provided technical support for faculty utilizing Learning Management Systems and external tools like Brightspace and Pearson. • Managed project flow and facilitated collaboration among student workers to enhance office efficiency. • Developed an information database addressing organizational issues, improving knowledge sharing within the office. - **Software Engineer at BSNL LTD** (2022-06-01–2023-08-01) — Configured and troubleshooted application systems, ensuring optimal performance and high availability. • Developed hands-on experience in network security and services management to ensure smooth operations. • Acquired skills in troubleshooting, network management, and optical fiber splicing techniques. ## Education - Master's degree, Computer Science — Purdue University Fort Wayne (2024-01-01–2026-01-01) - Bachelor of Technology - BTech, Computer Science — Central University of Kashmir, Srinagar (2018-01-01–2022-01-01) ## FAQ ### What does Anayat do?
