I'm Diksha, a 3rd-year student at Bennett university, pursuing BTech CSE with specialisation in AI. 

​

I have been into machine learning for three years now. My love for ML developed by simply seeing just how much I can positively create an impact.

 

Most vividly, I remember a thought experiment where individuals with mental disorders could be put into scenarios created with AI which can help them deal and change accordingly, allowing for better understanding human brain and making models iteratively closer to it. This was back in 2021 when I was in my first semester :) 

​

I owe a lot to Alan Turing, like everyone else.

​

I explored ML more and more afterwards. Another highlight of my first year is when I got excited after a couple of papers to proof using MRI whether music therapy really has a positive impact on mental disorders and if I can generate music which can be helpful for those individuals.

​

That led me to work on my first research project "Analysis of Neural Correlates of Different Music Genres using Machine Learning", which got selected for Fechner Day 2022, Sweden where unfortunately I couldn't go and present.

​

Since then, I've participated in and won multiple hackathons, received KaggleX grant, have been a part of Google's Women Engineers initiative, started contributing to open-sourced ML, worked on multiple projects, all the while working towards creating some value while getting more and more fascinated by research engineering marvels.
