Hanani Bathina
I am a 2nd-year Master's student in Data Science at Chennai Mathematical Institute.
- I interned over the summer (2025) at Tata Communications, working on developing a natural, expressive Text-to-Speech system for Indian-accented English - Here
- Before that, I was a research intern at AI4Bharat, where I contributed to an ACL paper — Can Vision-Language Models evaluate Handwritten Math?
I am primarily motivated by using AI to enhance average worker productivity. Currently, I'm building a project that utilizes Indic-ASR models to help doctors scribe patient conversations. It’s revenue-generating, with real customers, real doctors, and real hospitals.
Avid motorcyclist. Certified Mountaineer (HMI). Up for any sport (except basketball & tennis). I also Can (Almost) Make Anything.
Medieval Capital Paglu — I’ve travelled to pretty much all the major medieval capitals in South India.
