I'm Sreekumar, a data scientist and AI researcher with expertise in Bayesian inference, time series modeling, and machine learning. I’ve led data science teams, co-founded an AI-driven startup, and worked on astrophysical research that led to the discovery of extra-solar planets. My work spans startups, academia, and real-world AI applications.
Joined the company at the seed stage as the 5th employee and grew the data science team to 5 scientists and engineers. Led the design and development of a Machine Learning (ML) model ensemble; achieved industry-leading accuracy of 93%. Worked closely with the product team to deploy the company’s data-driven real estate market intelligence platform incorporating six datasets, resulting in approximately 20% improvement in the website visitors using the platform.
Co-founded an AI powered hedge fund and spearheaded the development of a Bayesian Deep Learning model for trading S&P-500 stocks; raised close to $1 million in seed funding through Entrepreneur First and other global VCs.
Researched and developed cutting-edge Bayesian statistical methods with High Performance Computing (HPC) for analysing cosmological data from space telescopes; 20 peer reviewed publications.
Doctor of Philosophy in Astrophysics
Developed highly efficient Bayesian Statistical methods for astrophysical and cosmological data analysis, resulting in the co-discovery of 3 new extra solar planets.
Master of Science in Physics
Researched and developed a novel Bayesian technique for detecting extra-solar planets and estimating their orbital parameters, resulting in the publication of the Masters thesis as an article in the prestigious Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal.
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering
