    date: "A New Chapter"
    description: "~ To gain more exposure to core Machine Learning research, I decided to join the Deep Learing lab of Prof. Vineeth N Balasubramanian, at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad. <br/> 
	~ Here, I worked on making these deep learning algorithms more <i>interpretable</i>. This is especially important in risk-critical tasks like Healthcare systems, self-driving cars etc. If we know why the machine does what it does, it would be much easier to have faith in it! <br />
	~ Our paper on explainability in CNNs using gradient information will appear in the <b>IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV2018)</b> in the algorithms track. <br />
	~ Learnt a lot about optimization methods from Prof. Vineeth, by attending his course on <i> Convex Optimization in Machine Learning </i> at IIT-H."

    date: "Thesis Topic Conundrum"
    description: "~ With a burgeoning interest in machine learning and probability, I chose <u><b>probabilistic modelling of molecular system trajectories</b></u> as the focus of my Master's thesis. <br/>
	~ Often molecular trajectories are analysed using Markov Chains, which reveal patterns on time-scales much larger than the length of a typical simulation time. However, such methods are limited by a necessity of explicit integration of Newton's equations of motion to generate the trajectory. <br />
	~ More efficient sampling techniques exist (variants of Monte-Carlo methods) but these methods lack temporal ordering of trajectory snapshots, precluding the possibility of constructing a transition matrix, which is core to all Markov Chain based methods. <br />
	~ In my thesis, I try to address this problem by using <i> Expectation Maximization </i> on a hybrid gaussian-boltzman probability density function to learn these temporal dependencies from Monte Carlo simulation data. <br />"

  - image: "/img/timeline/intern.png"
    date: "Fledgling Researcher"
    description: "~ Selected for a summer research internship at the Centre of Multiscale Theory and 
Computation, University of Munster in the lab of Prof. Mark Waller. Formulated a project involving machine 
learning to discern chemical structures from their infra-red spectra. <br/>
	~ Worked in the lab of Prof. U Deva Priyakumar where we tried to understand the mysteries behind protein unfolding using <i>in-silico</i> methods. We discovered a novel mode of interaction through which urea molecules denature proteins which brings us a tiny step closer to solving the puzzle in the grand scheme of things! This work is published in [JACS - 2017](pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jacs.7b05463) <br />
	~ Consistently in Dean's List every semester since Aug '15, which is awarded to the top 15% students in a batch."	

  - image: "/img/timeline/code.png"
    date: "Novice Hacker"
    description: "~ Qualified for ACM-ICPC Asia Regionals (Amritapuri). <br/>
~ Developed a [SQL engine](https://bitbucket.org/adityababiblue1994/mini-dbms) to select, insert, delete and join records in a relational database. Implemented external merge-sort to quickly sort through the records.
sorting of records using external-merge sort.  <br/>
~ Developed a web-app to simultaneously edit or view documents on a cloud server without having to download the 
files. Implemented a [REST-API](https://github.com/adityac94/Cloud_Docspad). <br/>
~ Inspired from the Japanese Anime, Beyblade, developed a 3D [spinning top game](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzS5KZjihEdybjlfY3pXRTJ2aFk/view?usp=sharing) with multiplayer facility in Unity."

Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad [B.Tech in Computer Science & MS in Computational Natural 
Sciences]. "
