Hi there! Welcome to my digital garden.
Here, you can find my academic publications, fun projects I’ve tried, stuff I’d like people to care about, some random musings and notes on my favourite things.
I also write a free weekly curated newsletter on data science: Next. Five stories. Four R/Python packages. Three jargons. Two Tweets. One meme. It has over 300 subscribers. Sign up to receive the next issue coming Wednesday morning!
About Me
I’m a doctoral student in Business Analytics and Statistics department at the Haslam College of Business, the University of Tennessee, advised by Prof ChuanRen Liu. Alongside my studies, for over a year now, I’ve been delving into the world of forecasting with the Strategic Planning and Modelling team at HP Inc.
My academic journey began with a BA and MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Indore, advised by Prof Pritam Ranjan, graduated in April 2021. During this time, I had the opportunity to be an ERASMUS+ scholar at the University of Latvia for a semester. Sainik School Tilaiya made me who I am.
When I’m not neck-deep in data, you’ll often find me writing. Or lost in the wonderful world of books. For a good adrenaline rush, I love participating in adventure sports. And nothing lifts my spirits like a good Calvin and Hobbes comic! Music is my constant companion, thanks to Spotify. You might enjoy my curation of Classical Hindi Music, it’s quite a hit on Spotify.
I’d be thrilled to know what you think about my digital garden. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback at hello@harsh17.in. Let’s connect!
