About Me

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Sumukh Vasisht Shankar an aspiring Data Scientist and Tech Enthusiast. Currently pusuing Masters in Data Science at Northeastern University, Boston.
I'm passionate about research in the field of Deep Learning. Currently I'm working with Dr. Robin Walters on the topic of Equivariant Neural Networks for Spatial Light Modulator.
This research is a part of the Khoury Research Apprenticeship Program.

Sketching, playing piano and guitar, reading novels are some of my favorite past times apart from doing some geeky stuff on my laptop.
