About Me

Hi there! I’m Priyansh.
As a Data Scientist at Hero FinCorp, I’m involved in building predictive models and performing detailed analyses on financial datasets to support business decisions.

Funny thing is, I actually started out studying Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani. But somewhere along the line, I got completely hooked on some AI and neuroscience projects, and that basically set me off on this whole new path.

For my final year bachelor’s thesis, I worked on Distributional Reinforcement Learning with Dr Sara Matias and Dr Jay Hennig from Uchida Lab at Harvard University.
Prior to that, I spent some time with Dr Saurabh Gandhi from IIT Delhi (now at IIT Jodhpur), working with EEG data from Alzheimer’s patients on pre-trained RNN models, to see which regions are recording (unusual) activity. Later that year, with Dr Dhiraj at CEERI Pilani, I used OpenCV for finding identifying infected fruits by looking at the X-ray scans of the fruits.

Once in a while, I have fun with the camera; impulsively clicking pictures of my surroundings.

You’ll often find me making horrible puns to lighten the mood.
