Summary
Praphulla Bhawsar is a Doctoral Fellow in bioinformatics and data science who combines 8+ years of full-stack and analytics experience with academic research to build AI-driven solutions for medicine. Awarded the NCI Cancer Research Training Award, he has developed AI-powered medical imaging and genomics tools and led epidemiological and edge-computing projects at the National Cancer Institute. Previously he architected backend systems and cross-platform applications at scale—including services used by 100M+ users—while mentoring teams and driving R&D on streaming, NoSQL, and automation. Equally comfortable in Python and deep learning frameworks as in JavaScript and distributed backends, he designs end-to-end systems across web, mobile and edge. A habitual reader of physics, math and ML, he brings a curiosity-driven approach that bridges production engineering with translational research.
