స్వాగతం (welcome) to my part of the internet! I am అభిరామ్ ముళ్లపూడి (Abhiram Mullapudi). I build cyber-physical infrastructure systems. Currently, I work on digital water systems, building wireless sensor networks for sensing the behavior of physical phenomena (i.e., depth, ⛈️, 🌊) in urban environments and developing machine learning algorithms for recommending operational decision-making. I currently work as a senior data scientist at Xylem. I am interested in wireless sensing, time-series forecasting, and anomaly detection, and optimization. Please reach out if you are interested 👋.
