Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaran Bhanot is a Senior Data Scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and a decade of experience applying machine learning and deep learning to healthcare and real-world data. He combines rigorous research—10+ publications and multiple first-author papers on synthetic data, fairness, and responsible AI—with hands-on engineering, having led end-to-end ML systems and an 81-scenario fairness auditor that cut evaluation time substantially. At Norstella he works with open-source LLMs and prompt engineering to convert unstructured clinical notes into structured data, while previously securing and managing multi-year research grants with IBM. Karan’s background spans full-stack implementation (including a public ML-React-Flask app template) to training generative models on 300k EHR records, reflecting both product and research fluency. He has a track record of mentoring and leading large student teams and reducing engineering friction through better tooling and code practices. Based in Bethesda, MD, he brings a rare mix of academic depth, reproducible research, and pragmatic product delivery in ML for healthcare.

Contributions summary:Karan primarily worked on developing the front-end of the machine learning application template using React. They started by creating the initial React application structure and then implemented UI components using React Bootstrap. The user also integrated a basic form and incorporated a prediction feature with a connection to a mock API endpoint. Furthermore, they updated the UI to connect with a Flask backend, incorporating form data submissions and displaying prediction results.
