Designed and maintained scalable software solution to help internal AbbVie users in the FinOps and Contracting domain with generation, storage and lifecycle management of complicated clinical budgets and contracts. - **Graduate Research Assistant at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis** (2020-08-01–2021-08-01) — Performed ETL operations to gather, clean, and preprocess the data collected using biomedical sensors. Transformed the sensor readings into analog signals to extract hidden features and patterns using python. Implemented both, supervised and unsupervised learning to cluster human activities for proving medical hypotheses. Determined the ethnicity of a person by processing the X-ray images of patients' hand to find skeletal and cultural relationships. Designed a ResNet - CNN classification model using Tensorflow to achieve an accuracy of 62%. - **Student Consultant at Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago** (2019-12-01–2020-01-01) — Collaborated with a cross-functional team to assist in marketing and strategic planning of the organization. Segmented the Jewish United Federation’s donor base of more than 375K donors, into multiple distinct groups to achieve business goals. Used feature engineering, data visualization, and data mining methods to accomplish the task. - **Graduate Research Assistant at Purdue University - The Graduate School** (2019-09-01–2020-01-01) — Machine learning models are susceptible to two kinds of attacks. Adversarial Attacks, where adversarial examples are added to the dataset on which the model is being trained with the objective of misleading the model and hampering it's performance. And, Inference Attacks, wherein major aim of the attacker is to find out whether a particular data entry is present in the training data. The existing solutions to protect the model from one kind of attack makes it more vulnerable for the other kind. The main goal of this research was to bridge the gap between privacy and security in Machine Learning models and try to come up with technique to make models secure and robust simultaneously. - **Graduate Research Assistant at Purdue University - The Graduate School** (2019-09-01–2020-07-01) — Designed and developed an automated traffic monitoring system for Indiana Department Of Transportation \(INDOT\). Using Computer Vision and Deep Learning technologies, the system calculates the average speed and flow rate of cars. It also detects incidents and traffic congestion from live video streams captured by highway surveillance cameras. This system significantly reduced the number of man-hours and resources required. ## Education - Master's degree, Computer Science — Purdue University - The Graduate School (2019-01-01–2021-01-01) - Bachelor of Engineering, Computer Science — University of Mumbai (2015-01-01–2019-01-01) - Master's degree, Computer Science — Purdue University - Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (2019–2021) ## FAQ ### What does Yohan do?
