As a Student Leader for the AI Student Community (AISC) — a national initiative by CBSE and Intel — I help lead one of India’s largest student-driven AI networks with 85,000+ members. Our roles are as follows: • Collaborate with the Intel AI for Youth team to co-design and facilitate AI learning programs and events. • Conduct weekly AI sessions on ethical, inclusive, and impact-driven innovation. • Organize monthly AI challenges that promote hands-on learning and creative problem-solving. • Lead outreach initiatives to expand community engagement and participation. • Represent AISC at national and international forums, advocating for responsible and accessible AI education.

As an AISC Ambassador, I actively contributed to fostering AI literacy among students across India. Collaborating with peers and mentors, I organized and participated in webinars, workshops, and boot camps aimed at demystifying artificial intelligence and its real-world applications. Through these initiatives, I engaged in creating AI-driven social impact solutions, leveraging resources provided by Intel and CBSE. This role enhanced my skills in leadership, communication, and community engagement, while deepening my understanding of AI technologies.

As Director of the Research & Innovation Club, I lead initiatives that promote scientific inquiry, creativity, and collaboration among students passionate about STEM. - Mentored 6+ student teams preparing for national-level science and innovation competitions. - Organized the Eureka Fair, a school-wide exhibition where students showcased STEM prototypes; evaluated and awarded the top 3 models for innovation and impact. - Secured INR 130,000 in grants to fund club projects and student-led innovations. - Worked on a drone project as part of a 3-member team, integrating robotics and control systems. - Conducted robotics and DIY workshops to nurture creative problem-solving and technical skills. - Coordinated educational visits to national research institutions — ISRO, PRL, and IPR — to provide exposure to real-world research and career pathways in science and technology.

- Developed and refined machine learning models to detect sleep apnea using EEG data from publicly available sleep databases. - Implemented preprocessing techniques (filtering, artifact removal, segmentation) using MNE-Python for clean and analysis-ready EEG signals. - Designed and evaluated deep learning architectures for apnea detection, focusing on pre-biomarkers and event-based analysis.

It is an 8-day residential program conducted by GujCost and ISRO together. There were lectures by eminent scientists and professional from ISRO and other esteemed institutes like PRL (Physical Research Laboratory) and IPR (Institute of Plasma Research). We also visited various advanced labs of these institutes.

Completed a 30-day Virtual Training & Internship Program in Space Flight Mechanics, focused on project-based learning in astrodynamics and space mission design. - Selected as Team Leader to coordinate group tasks and ensure smooth project execution. - Led a team in designing rocket launch trajectories and orbit-raising maneuvers. - Guided mission planning and trajectory simulations for a lunar landing project. - Designed and analyzed full space missions using GMAT (General Mission Analysis Tool) developed by NASA. - Developed key skills in team collaboration, orbital mechanics, and simulation-based mission planning.
