About
Hi, my name is Sambit! 👋.
I currently work as an AI Engineer at the MATRIX AI Consortium where I develop AI solutions to improve trauma care delivery for patients. My research interests lie on the intersection of AI and medicine.
Previously, I completed a PhD in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Institute of Computational Medicine, at Johns Hopkins, where I had the pleasure working with Joshua T. Vogelstein in the NeuroData lab. I worked on developing methods for high-dimensional hypothesis testing, causal inference, and extensions of random forest, all of which are neatly wrapped in software packages. I also applied these methods to real data sets, including those from Bert Vogelstein and the Neurobehavioral Core at NIEHS.
I completed my master’s degree (MSE) in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins in 2020. I was also an undergraduate at NC State in Biomedical Engineering and Biology while on the Goodnight Scholarship. There, I worked with Leslie Sombers, using electrochemistry to understand neural systems.
As a way to “pay it forward”, I run the Ramchandara Panda Scholarship Competition, which provides scholarships to local students in my family’s village in India and helps preserve local traditions for future generations.
In my free time, I like to read books and go on hikes!
