Dual PhD (Statistics & CS) | High-Stakes Consulting for Biostatistics, XAI & Quant Finance

Profile Summary

I am a Dual PhD (Statistics & CS) researcher and consultant specializing in "rescue projects"—complex problems where standard, off-the-shelf models have failed. My work sits at the intersection of Mathematical Statistics, Computer Science, and Economics, providing a rigorous foundation for solutions that are both computationally efficient and economically viable. The Text-First Advantage: Operating exclusively as a text-first consultant due to a permanent speech disability, I provide a level of documentation and precision rarely found in consulting. Clients receive a 100% accurate, audit-ready digital trail of every methodology, instruction, and strategic pivot—essential for regulatory submissions (FDA/EMA) and IP documentation. Core Verticals: Health & Biostatistics: Bayesian adaptive designs, sample size re-estimation, and survival analysis for clinical trials. I ensure protocols are both statistically robust and regulatory-compliant. AI Governance & XAI: Deploying "Glass Box" AI for regulated industries. I use SHAP, LIME, and Uncertainty Quantification to make black-box models interpretable for stakeholders and regulators. Quantitative Finance: Leveraging Markov Chain frameworks and stochastic volatility modeling for risk mitigation and algorithmic trading strategies. Serving as Principal Data Scientist at IISc (Computational Data Sciences), guiding R&D projects from theoretical proof-of-concept to scalable production deployment for global clients.

Work Experience

Principal Data Scientist / Principal Research Consultant. I serve as the primary link between the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) and industry partners. My work focuses on translating high-level research—specifically Bayesian frameworks and Uncertainty Quantification—into production-ready models for Fortune 500 R&D projects. I ensure that theoretical proof-of-concepts are not just mathematically sound, but also scalable and auditable for deployment in regulated environments.

Principal Data Scientist & Statistical Consultant. I am typically engaged for 'rescue projects'—situations where standard statistical models have failed or where black-box AI cannot pass regulatory scrutiny. My practice focuses on Biostatistics for clinical trials and Risk Modeling for finance. By operating on a text-first model, I provide my clients with a rigorous digital paper trail that is 100% audit-ready, a critical requirement for FDA/EMA submissions and high-stakes financial reporting.
