Samarth Sharma
HI 👋
I AM SAMARTH!
BUT FEEL FREE TO CALL ME SAM 😊!
I am a First Year Masters of Science (MS) student at Duke University, majoring in Computer Science, and one thing about me ?
I LOVE PRODUCT !
I thrive the intersection of AI, people, and product innovation — where technology meets human impact. With a background in Computer Engineering and expertise in AI & Product Strategy, I’m passionate about building human-centric, AI-driven solutions that solve real-world challenges.
My journey began with a deep curiosity for how technology transforms lives. Over time, I realized that true impact happens when AI meets business strategy, design thinking and user empathy — leading me to Product Management. Now, I’m driven to create AI-powered products that matter and are beyond "just automation".
Let’s connect and talk about AI, strategy, and human-centric product design.

ROBUST AND INTERPRETABLE VECTOR BORNE DISEASE PREDICTION IN IOT-ENABLED EDGE NETWORKS
Vector-borne diseases have created critical world-wide public health hazards that require innovative approaches for prevention and management. Within the context of IoT-enabled edge networks, this study offers a unique framework to build a reliable and straightforward distant prediction model for vector-borne diseases. The suggested strategy incorporates the use of edge computing capabilities to predict the onset and spread of diseases caused by vectors by using real-time data streams from mobile applications. Employing widely used techniques from machine learning, including interpretable models, our system not only achieves high prediction accuracy but also provides insight into the most important factors influencing the spread of disease. Moreover, this approach overcomes the resource constraints essential to edge networks, ensuring the prediction model's dependability and scalability.
