Allow yourself to shine without the desire to be seen
Neermita  Bhattacharya

Summary

Currently a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate student at IITJ, I have a niche interest in Bioinformatics, Biomedical Engineering and Genomics research. Using Python/R for genomics, scientific projects and sequence analysis, I would like to further my knowledge and experience in the inevitable intersection of Precision Medicine, Molecular biology, and Machine Learning with Artificial Intelligence. Transitioning my grasp from the fundamentals of Introduction to Computer Science, Data Structures and Algorithms, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, Software Engineering, Signals and Systems, and Digital Design to practical applications in real-world scenarios particularly within the sciences is a goal I aspire to achieve.
