Technical Consulting Engineer: Statistical Modeling & Analytics

Avinash's groundbreaking work in nanotechnology and data analytics has led to significant advancements in both scientific research and practical applications.
In his role at the University of Missouri, Avinash developed a novel plasmonic grating-based platform for single-molecule imaging and detection. This innovative technology utilizes nanostructured gratings created through a cost-effective micro-contact printing process using HD-DVD substrates. The resulting detection platform can sense individual molecules of various materials, including viruses, bacteria, and explosive compounds, at a fraction of the cost of existing technologies. This breakthrough has potential applications in healthcare, law enforcement, and beyond.
Avinash's work resulted in a US patent for "Nano-gap grating devices with enhanced optical properties and methods of fabrication," which has been cited by major tech companies like Apple. His research was published in several high-impact scientific journals and garnered media attention, including coverage by the BBC.
Building on his expertise in data analysis and pattern recognition, Avinash later applied his skills to the field of predictive analytics at Cisco Systems. There, he created a sophisticated monitoring platform that combines machine learning with pattern recognition to predict potential hardware failures, system crashes, and component issues before they impact system uptime.
This platform, developed using Python, Nagios, Ansible, and Ruby, provides advanced alerting for various infrastructure components, including Linux systems, Hadoop clusters, HANA databases, UCS servers, Nexus switches, and NetApp filesystems. By analyzing usage patterns and historical data, the system can anticipate and prevent outages that could result in significant financial losses for businesses relying on these critical systems.
Avinash's innovations demonstrate a remarkable ability to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and practical, real-world applications. His work has not only pushed the boundaries of what's possible in nanotechnology and single-molecule detection but has also provided tangible benefits to businesses through improved system reliability and predictive maintenance. These achievements highlight Avinash's significant contributions to both the scientific community and the technology industry.
