More About Me.
I’m a medical doctor, R educator and tech enthusiast who transitioned from academic research into health data science. I am an Indian Council of Medical Reseach-funded co-Principal Investigator. I am also a contributing member of the R Epidemics Consortium (RECon).
Lately
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Health Data Science from Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology, Trivandrum where my research work is focused on applying epidemiology, spatio-temoral methods and data science to generate actionable evidence using data from the routine health information systems.
I hail from Rampachodavaram, a small tribal village in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
I love my family. My wife and my beautiful daughter are my driving force and source of inspiration.
