Arpit Aggarwal is a Postdoctoral Researcher with 11 years of experience applying deep learning and computer vision to healthcare and autonomous driving problems. He combines academic rigor from PhD work at Georgia Tech/Emory with hands-on engineering—contributing to MONAI (implementing Generalized Wasserstein Dice Loss and expanding tests) and to Fossasia’s Open Event Android project. His toolkit includes Python, C++, PyTorch, OpenCV and production practices like unit testing and code formatting, and he has applied these to MRI super-resolution, cell-painting QC, and ADAS driver monitoring. Arpit has moved between industry and top research labs (Johnson & Johnson, Broad Institute, AbbVie), consistently translating novel models into robust pipelines and scripts for reproducible experiments. Notably, his MONAI contributions improved loss functions and testing coverage in a widely used healthcare-imaging toolkit, reflecting both research depth and commitment to open-source impact. Based in Gaithersburg, MD, he maintains an active GitHub portfolio that surfaces practical projects spanning mobile UI improvements to advanced clinical ML.
