Hello, I'm Nikhileswara Rao Sulake, a Bachelor’s student in Computer Science and Engineering at RGUKT (Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies) in Vijayawada, India with a strong focus on Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Medical Imaging. Thank you for visiting my profile.

I previously interned at Stanford Medicine under the guidance of Dr. Arutselvan Natarajan and Dr. Frezghi Habte, and at IIT Kharagpur with Mr. Partha Acharya (TCS Research, India) and Dr. Subhamoy Mandal. I have also collaborated with IISc Bangalore under the guidance of Dr. Phaneendra Yalavarthy, with Harvard Medical School under the guidance of Dr. Bhaskara Chintada and also with Khalifa University of Science and Technology under the guidance of Dr. Iyyakutti Iyappan Ganapathi. In industry, I interned at Neural Nurture, Parabola9, CoreAI.

I am broadly interested in medical imaging, computer vision, and multimodal learning, with a focus on vision-language models for healthcare. My goal is to develop robust and interpretable AI systems that integrate imaging and clinical knowledge to support diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.

I’m actively seeking Research Assistant roles in academic or industrial research labs, with a focus on computer vision, medical imaging, and multimodal AI. I am also preparing to pursue my higher studies through an MSc–Integrated PhD program, and would be glad to connect regarding potential opportunities.
