Now · MBA year 2 · open to AI engineering, product & research roles

Aaditya Dev Sharma

AI engineer turned MBA. I build machine-learning systems that hold up to scrutiny, and work out where they create business value.

01 · The engineer

First, the engineer.

Computer science at PES University, then AI research at PwC: jet-engine prognostics, biomedical retrieval and medical image search. The research was about honesty as much as accuracy.

  • First authorSB-QGWO, a paper on jet-engine prognostics, under review
  • 4 papers1 published (Springer, 2025) and 3 under review
  • PwC · ITCAI research and digital transformation internships

02 · Research at PwC

01 · Revised manuscript · under review

SB-QGWO

Finding the right sensors and network settings for jet-engine failure prediction, with far fewer training runs.

02 · Under review

QIH-RAG

An honest, controlled study of which parts of a biomedical retrieval pipeline actually matter.

03 · Under review · SN Computer Science

Medical Image Retrieval

A medical image search system that knows when to say “I don’t know” and hands the case to a clinician.

03 · The pivot

Then, the business side.

Now an MBA in Digital Business Management at IIM Bodh Gaya (2025–27), to understand where AI systems actually create value.

The intersection of engineering and business is where the interesting problems live.

04 · Impact

05 · Beyond the work

A life with side quests.

I make videos and take photos in my spare time. A few of them found an audience.
