Senior Machine Learning Researcher (IISER Pune) — end-to-end ML pipeline development for scientific forecasting and reasoning-chain workflows
Developed deterministic ML models and automated high-dimensional data processing pipelines for scientific forecasting, including reasoning-chain workflows for spatiotemporal organization of rainfall data. Built and optimized simulation and forecasting workflows on HPC infrastructure where intermediate structured outputs support model training and evaluation. Applied LLM/RAG-style retrieval and reasoning concepts to support complex scientific problem solving and downstream model use cases. • Created reproducible training and forecasting pipelines for extreme climate event modeling • Automated data preprocessing using Python, Xarray, and NumPy for model-ready datasets • Optimized Slurm-based workloads for large-scale scientific simulation runs • Designed reasoning-chain requirements for complex forecasting tasks
