I am Vaishali Vijay Shinde, a Master's student in Health Informatics at Indiana University, Indianapolis, expecting to graduate in December 2024. My academic interests lie in clinical research, data analysis using tools like Python, R, and MySQL, as well as community service endeavors. As a Research Assistant with the HANDS in Autism Interdisciplinary Training and Resource Center at Riley Hospital for Children and IU School of Medicine, I contribute to research projects aimed at advancing knowledge and care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. My role involves conducting literature reviews, performing data analyses, and participating in the dissemination of findings to the wider community. I am passionate about applying my skills in health informatics to make a positive impact through the interdisciplinary work at HANDS.
