Research Interests

⚕️
Health AI
Applying machine intelligence to clinical informatics and patient outcomes.
⚖️
AI Policy
Governance, ethics, and the societal implications of deployed AI systems.
Foundational AI
Core theory — learning, representation, and the nature of intelligence itself.
🌐
IoT
Networked physical systems and embedded intelligence at the edge.
👁
Computer Vision
Image processing, object understanding, and visual perception in machines.
Philosophy of Mind
Consciousness, cognition, and what it means for a system to understand.
The question is not whether machines can think, but what kind of thinking we are building — and who it serves.

— A guiding concern

About

I am a computer engineering graduate and research assistant at the Health Informatics Lab, Kathmandu University, working at the intersection of AI systems and human health.

My work is driven by a dual curiosity: the technical rigour of building robust AI systems, and the philosophical questions they raise about knowledge, autonomy, and trust.

I believe the most consequential research lives at the edge of disciplines — where engineering meets ethics, and where algorithms confront the messy reality of human lives.
