Profile Picture

Hello, I am Shreyas, an undergraduate student at BITS Pilani Goa Campus, pursuing a double major in M.Sc. Mathematics and B.E. Electronics and Communication. My research interests encompass Computational Neuroscience, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Deep Learning.

Throughout my college journey, I have worked with Prof. Snehanshu Saha, Prof. Amalin Prince, and Prof. Yuvaraj Rajamanickam at NTU Singapore, where I contributed to published work at the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), United Kingdom. The paper can be accessed via this link: here.

I have also worked with Prof. Ganapathy Krishnamurthi, Assistant Professor at IIT Madras. Currently, I am working on my undergraduate thesis under the guidance of Prof. Gabriel Kreiman, a Professor at Harvard University.

In my free time, you'll likely find me engaged in playing the violin and other music-related activities. Additionally, I play Chess and am an active member of the Institute chess team.
