About

AI/ML Engineer and Healthcare AI Researcher. Building intelligent systems that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world healthcare applications.

My Story

Avishek Rauniyar, AI Engineer and Researcher

I build AI systems and publish research. My work covers agentic architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, healthcare ML, and knowledge graphs. I'm interested in systems where correctness matters — clinical settings, structured knowledge extraction, and multi-agent coordination where a wrong answer has real consequences.

Currently, I'm an AI Research Associate at Harvard Medical School & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an Elite AI Research Assistant at Amrita AI (Faridabad). I've published four papers across Elsevier's Procedia Computer Science and Springer conference proceedings (ICTCS).

I won the NASA Space Apps Challenge Local Impact Award in 2024 for an AI system built in 48 hours. Before that, I published my first conference paper during my B.Tech. The through-line in my work is building things that work, writing about what I learn, and treating every project as a chance to move the field forward — even if just incrementally.

Values

Research as Practice

Publish findings, share methodology, and treat every project as an opportunity to contribute something reproducible to the field.

Build What Ships

A system that runs on your laptop is a prototype. A system that handles edge cases, has monitoring, and doesn't crash at 2 AM is engineering.

Write to Think

Writing clarifies ideas that feel clear in your head. Technical writing, papers, and post-mortems are how I refine what I think I know.

Compound Over Time

Skills, publications, and open-source contributions accumulate. The goal isn't a single big break. It's consistency across years.

Avishek Rauniyar is an AI/ML Engineer and Healthcare AI Researcher building systems at the intersection of agentic AI, healthcare ML, and knowledge graphs. He is a Research Associate — Medical AI at Harvard Medical School & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he develops medical AI models for histopathology and clinical signal analysis with scalable data pipelines and interpretable tools supporting real-time clinical use. He is also an Elite AI Research Assistant at Amrita AI (Amrita School of AI, Faridabad), contributing to cutting-edge AI research projects focused on developing innovative machine learning models and algorithms for medical systems. His research portfolio includes four publications across multiple venues. His work on prostate cancer stratification, published in Procedia Computer Science (Elsevier, 2025, Volume 259, pp. 356–365), presents a deep learning framework for multi-dimensional cancer staging that integrates histopathological features with clinical biomarkers. At the International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for Smart Systems (ICTCS, Springer), he co-authored papers on AI-driven wildlife monitoring (ECO-Guard, 4 citations) and a secure electronic voting system (PyVote). His book chapter on machine learning algorithm comparison (Springer, 2024) provides a systematic framework for evaluating classification models across diverse datasets. His technical work focuses on building systems where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable. This includes multi-agent coordination architectures where tool failures cascade, RAG pipelines where retrieval quality determines clinical safety, and knowledge graph construction where extraction precision directly impacts downstream reasoning accuracy. Before his research roles, Avishek interned as a QA Engineer at Heapvue, where he built and maintained automated test scripts using Selenium Python, improving testing efficiency by 40%. He performed API testing with Postman, identified bugs and performance issues, and collaborated with developers to ensure quality across microservices. He was also an AI Research Intern at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, developing deep learning models for prostate cancer grading systems. Avishek is a NASA Space Apps Challenge Local Impact Award Winner (2024), recognized for building an AI solution to a real-world space challenge under extreme time constraints. He contributes to open-source AI projects and writes about engineering practices, lessons from production deployments, and the gap between academic research and systems that ship. He holds a B.Tech in Computer Science (AI) with a CGPA of 9.18/10 from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri. He completed his Higher Secondary Education (+2) at Bal Kalyan Vidya Mandir, Biratnagar, Nepal (GPA: 3.63/4) and Secondary Education (SEE) from the same institution (GPA: 3.9/4). From Prakashpur Bazaar, Barahakshetra-10, Sunsari, Koshi, Nepal, his approach brings together research rigor and engineering pragmatism — publishing findings, sharing methodology, and building systems that hold up under real-world conditions.
