Hi! I’m Shreesh, and welcome to my little corner of the internet :) I’m an aspiring academic passionate about advancing therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders. Currently, I’m a Machine Learning Ph.D. student in the Structured Information for Precision Neuroengineering Lab (SIPLab) at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Christopher J. Rozell & Dr. Sankar Alagapan.

My interests are in neuromodulation, machine learning, and digital health technologies, with a focus on clinical applications of AI to better understand brain & behavior with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

Before grad school, I was a research assistant in Dr. Bronte-Stewart’s Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab at Stanford Neurology. There, I contributed to adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) studies for Parkinson’s disease, focusing on neural and kinematic analyses of gait impairment & advancing remote health technologies for clinical decision support, under the mentorship of Dr. Kevin Wilkins.

I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Bioengineering, where I worked in Dr. Jun Chen’s Wearable Bioelectronics Lab. There, I contributed to projects under the mentorship of Dr. Xun Zhao in wearable sensors and bioelectronics, from smart bedsheets for sleep monitoring to developing ultrasensitive acoustic sensors for voice recognition.

This site is where I share my journey, ideas, and achievements as I work toward bridging engineering innovation with advancements in medicine. Thanks for stopping by!
