Aravind DS Paper
Data science research and volunteering at Aravind Eye Hospital, analyzing large-scale medical imaging data.
Collaborating with Aravind Eye Hospital provided a profound look at “technology for impact.” The research involved processing thousands of fundus images to automate the detection of diabetic retinopathy.
The challenge was not just the machine learning accuracy, but the “deployment reality”—ensuring that the models could run on affordable hardware in rural clinics. This project was a lesson in the ethical responsibility of data engineering.
