Hi, I’m Sneha 👋

I’m a Data Science master’s student at Columbia University with a background in systems engineering and software development. I’m interested in building thoughtful, data-driven tools that address real gaps in society, particularly in health, wellness, and accessibility.

I care deeply about inclusivity and enjoy working on tools that make technology more usable, equitable, and impactful for underserved populations.

🎓 Education

  • M.S. in Data Science, Columbia University
  • B.S. in Computer Science with Highest Honors, UNC Chapel Hill

🔍 Interests

  • Applied Machine Learning
  • Healthcare, Wellness & Immunology
  • Human-centered AI & accessibility
  • AR/VR and immersive technologies

🛠️ Recent Projects

  • Gendered Cost Burden Analysis
    Inspired by the pink tax, this is data analysis and visualization project examining gender disparities in day-to-day spending and healthcare.

  • Scaled-Down Text-Conditional Diffusion Model (GLIDE-Inspired) Built a simplified text-to-image diffusion model that trianslates written prompts into images.

  • Undergraduate Honors Thesis: Modeling the Impact of Early Life Stress on Microglial Aging
    Combined bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data to identify microglial gene expression signatures linking early life stress to accelerated immune aging.

🌱 Currently

  • Exploring ML applications in conversational NLP that prioritize inclusivity
  • Conducting ML research on electrophysiological data @ the Zuckerman Institute
  • Learning more about agentic AI and RAG pipelines via coursework
