Hi, I'm Tanvi. I'm currently a MSDS student at Columbia and do NLP research at Mount Sinai. I'm drawn to work that can bring real change, whether that's in sustainability, social good, or responsible AI.
Building end-to-end pipelines that turn raw satellite tiles and patient text into models people can actually trust.
Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery for crop health monitoring and deforestation detection.
Psychiatric text classification, sentiment modeling, and statistical testing, all published and presented.
Currently at Columbia's MSDS program, going deeper on the methods behind the models I build.

A deployed nutrition recommendation system built end-to-end to generate personalized food recommendations for cats.
Does showing shoppers a real-time carbon footprint estimate at checkout change their behavior, and at what cost?
ML pipeline that forecasts hourly grid carbon intensity to help reduce the carbon footprint of everyday computing tasks.
Low-Dimensional Temporal Coding of MT Neurons
An analysis of how visual cortex neurons encode motion direction through temporal firing patterns, not just firing rate.
A Streamlit app that optimizes resumes for specific job postings using NLP-based matching and scoring.
Harvard Hackathon Top 5: a media authentication dashboard combining deepfake detection, metadata analysis, and cryptographic verification for defense teams assessing sensitive imagery.
