Data Science Manager, Nference (Mob: 8454912860)

My name is Deepak Anand, and I work at Nference as Data Science Manager. Nference is popularly known as Google of Medicine. At Nference, I work on applied computer vision in medical images, including radiology and histopathology. With multiple spin-cos like Anumana and Pramana, Nference aims to build a completely aware (using all the modalities rather than one or two) suite of algorithms which can benefit patients significantly.

Previously, I worked as Head of AI at Griffyn Robotech Pvt. Limited. I was working at Griffyn Robotech Pvt. Limited to bring the edge of AI to industrial automation and operations analytics. We built a patented micron-level cosmetic grading machine for surface inspections.

By education, I completed my Ph.D. at the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay. For my Ph.D., I worked in the area of deep learning applications to medical images, specifically for cancer diagnosis and prognosis at MeDAL (Medical Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence Lab). I maintain a list of my publications, patents, and research implementations under the Publications tab. To get an insight into my professional life so far, you can have a look at my CV.

I blog now and then, compiling my personal experiences. Feel free to read a bit more about me!
