NanoBots

Lightweight, chainable LLM agents designed for workflow automation and infrastructure interoperability

NanoBots is a modular suite of lightweight LLM-based agents built to automate everyday workflows across diverse domains. Designed with scalability and composability in mind, each agent is independently deployable and can be chained to form more sophisticated AI systems for task orchestration.

Built on top of modern agentic frameworks, NanoBots emphasizes performance, interpretability, and low-resource execution—making it ideal for both personal use cases and enterprise-grade automation. It serves as a flexible foundation for integrating AI agents into existing backend systems, enhancing productivity through intelligent decision-making and streamlined execution.

MRI Style Transfer

MRI-Transform

Contrast-to-contrast MRI transformation using unpaired image translation

This project focused on improving diagnostic flexibility in medical imaging by training a CycleGAN model to convert T1-weighted MRI scans into T2-weighted scans—and vice versa—without needing paired datasets. The model preserved structural integrity across contrasts, achieving a Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 97%, validating the effectiveness of contrast transformation in enhancing radiological interpretation and multi-modal training.

Built using TensorFlow, the pipeline was designed to support seamless model training, evaluation, and visualization using Matplotlib. The final models were used to generate synthetic contrast images that mimic clinical scans, helping augment datasets where certain MRI modalities are underrepresented.

  • Trained CycleGAN on unpaired T1 and T2 MRI images for bi-directional style transfer
  • Achieved 97% SSIM, ensuring high structural fidelity in generated outputs
  • Enabled synthetic data generation to boost training for downstream medical tasks

Have Foundation Models Seen Satellite Images?

Investigating the Generalization of Pre-Trained Models on Geospatial Data

This study evaluates the zero-shot performance of pre-trained foundation models on remote sensing tasks. The research analyzes whether these models have previously encountered satellite imagery and assesses their adaptability to standard benchmarks like EuroSAT and BigEarthNet-S2. Additionally, it explores the impact of geospatial domain-specific textual descriptions compared to standard class-based prompts.

  • Assesses foundation models' zero-shot classification abilities in remote sensing.
  • Compares standard class-based prompts with geospatial domain-specific descriptions.
  • Evaluates model performance on EuroSAT and BigEarthNet-S2 datasets.
