About Me

Hi, I’m Prithvi Shirke, currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Arizona State University, with an expected graduation in May 2025. As a Research Assistant under Professor Hua Wei, I work on innovative projects in intelligent transportation systems. My research has led to a published paper at the IEEE ITSC 2024, and I’m currently collaborating with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) on a project aimed at optimizing rail networks using AI and data analytics. With 3 years of diverse experience, including roles as a Software Developer, AI & ML Developer intern, and Research Assistant, I’m passionate about applying my expertise in computer vision, AI, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs) to tackle real-world challenges. I thrive in team environments and enjoy contributing to collaborative, high-impact projects. Outside of work, I enjoy trekking, going to the gym, and singing, which helps me maintain a healthy balance between my professional and personal life. I’m always excited to take on new challenges and make meaningful contributions to the field of technology.

BattleLens: Conflict and Commerce Unveiled

The BattleLens project explores the relationship between global conflicts and defense economies, focusing on the Middle East. Using datasets like ACLED and defense spending data, the project employs interactive visualizations to analyze the connections between political violence, arms trade, and economic influences. I implemented Scrollama, D3.js, Leaflet.js, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS to create interactive components, including a geographic map, line charts, stacked bar charts, and stream graphs, and integrated scrollytelling for a seamless narrative experience. The project highlights the paradox of peacekeeping nations profiting from arms trade, emphasizing the need for transparency and ethical accountability in global defense economics.

AI-Based_Crop-Predictor_App

The "AI-Based Crop Predictor App" is designed to help farmers by recommending crops based on soil, weather, and other environmental factors.

Vehicle Tracking With Custom Feature Model

The project focuses on tracking vehicles using a custom feature extractor model and advanced machine learning techniques.
