Prerna is currently working as a Senior Applied Scientist in the Industry AI group @Microsoft where she develops Machine Learning based solutions for different industrial verticals including finance and sustainability. Prior to Microsoft, she was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University(CMU) at Pittsburgh. At CMU, she worked on developing machine learning models to understand the response time of cancer drugs in individuals and also explored the potential of ECG as a biometric signal for human identification. Before CMU, she worked as a Researcher in the field of Reinforcement Learning and Robotics at TCS Research and Innovation(TCS R&I) labs. During her tenure at TCS R&I, she designed RL algorithms for training robots to perform target reaching tasks. Prerna is passionate about machine learning, NLP and Reinforcement Learning, and has also published multiple papers in these domains.
