From aspiring AI researcher to IEEE acceptance with AUC 0.983

Aarnav developed a machine learning approach for discovering biomarkers in lung cancer, analyzing genomic data to identify signatures associated with the disease. His model achieved an AUC of 0.983, near-perfect discrimination, pointing toward earlier detection when treatment is most effective. The paper was accepted at IEEE ICITSIF 2026.

BEFORE THE FELLOWSHIP

A high school student passionate about AI and medicine who wanted to apply machine learning to cancer detection but did not know where to start.

AFTER

IEEE conference accepted with a lung cancer biomarker model achieving an AUC of 0.983.

The YRI Fellowship gave me PhD mentorship, publication opportunities, ISEF coaching, and lasting support beyond the program.
