As the Global Head of AI, Generative AI and Data Science at Accenture, I lead a team of talented engineers and researchers who create innovative solutions for a variety of domains, such as energy, utility, automotive, and sports analytics. I have over 10 years of experience in applying machine learning, data mining, and computer vision to real-world problems, ranging from automated pathology detection from medical images, epidemiological modeling, to autonomous driving, and advanced driver assistance systems.

I am passionate about learning, teaching, and mentoring, and I have a strong academic background, with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and a Certificate in Engineering Leadership from the University of California, Berkeley. I also have a successful track record of collaborating with universities, research labs, and policy institutions, as the Executive Lead for the University Relations Program at Volvo Cars Tech Office, California, USA, and as an Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Computer Engineering at Santa Clara University. My current interests involve building strategy, process, and outcomes for research-driven initiatives, and sharing my insights and tips for job seekers in the field of applied machine learning, AI, and data science on my YouTube channel.
