She envisions transforming healthcare in India using ML techniques. Currently, she is working on various projects in collaboration with doctors and researchers across various domains, primarily focusing on applying Machine learning and NLP-based techniques to Medical images/textual data. With this, her PhD thesis focused on the localization and segmentation of wrist fractures on X-ray radiographs. The X-ray images were manually collected, followed by their labelling by expert Radiologists from Doon Hospital, Dehradun. As an interest, she actively participates in Kaggle competitions to perform data analytics.

Her primary objective is to prepare students to bridge the gap between academia and industry. She encourages and guides students to participate in Project-based Learning and global coding competitions (Hackerrank, Leetcode, etc.), which unquestionably aid Computer Science graduates in securing employment with a product-based company.
