Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArshitha Basavaraj is a research scientist with 9 years of experience building data engineering and data science infrastructure for large-scale, multi-modal health studies. Based in Bengaluru, she has led pipelines for ingestion, transformation, de-identification and reporting of imaging, genomic and tabular data—accelerating dataset sharing timelines by weeks. At IIIT-B and NIMH she translated clinical needs into production-ready systems, automated QC and scoring workflows, and championed FAIR data practices through training and BIDS contributions. Her background in computer engineering and signal/image processing informs pragmatic solutions such as an automated MRI defacing and visual QC integration that improved de-identification reliability. Equally comfortable coding and collaborating with clinicians, she combines research rigor with production sensibilities to make complex biomedical data usable for downstream analysis.
