Hey Winthrop!! I'm really excited to be a new resident tutor this year. Originally, I am from Hyderabad, India, and my family moved to Ohio when I was young. I spent some time in California, doing my undergraduate and master's studies in Computer Science at Stanford. Currently, I am a third year MD/PhD student at HMS, entering my PhD this year in EECS at MIT. My research interests include machine learning and statistical methods and applying those methods in healthcare applications. In the past, I've worked on disease progression modeling, deep learning for various medical imaging tasks, and data augmentation theory. Would love to chat about any of these topics with you all!

And now for a more random assortment of interests: I'm passionate about spirituality and theology, specifically tasawwuf, tazkiyah, and aqidah (all Islamic forms of theology and/or purification of the heart). I also love reciting Urdu and Arabic poetry as well as nasheed. I enjoy playing all kinds of racket sports, basketball, and soccer. My favorite tennis player is Rafael Nadal (djokovic sucks), and Mohammed Salah is my hero. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
