Hi, I'm Shubham GajjarBuilding practical AI for healthcare and real-world systems.

AI researcher and M.S. AI student at Northeastern University. I work on deep learning for biomedical imaging and computer vision, and I enjoy shipping reliable ML systems.

About Me

I’m an AI researcher and M.S. Artificial Intelligence student at Northeastern University (The Roux Institute). I work at the intersection of deep learning, computer vision, and biomedical imaging.

I’ve published and presented research at IEEE AIC 2025, and I have ongoing work under review (Elsevier) on attention‑enhanced segmentation models for brain tumor MRI. I’m especially interested in hybrid architectures (CNNs + Transformers), strong evaluation, and building ML systems that are reliable in practice.

Research focus

Medical imaging, computer vision, and hybrid deep learning architectures.
