Manishram-ai/README.md

Manish Ram, Chief Scientist at Parafield: spatial audio for stories and machine learning for health. The name is in coloured ASCII block letters; beside it, a landscape at dusk made of sound, mountains drawn from the spectrum of a voice rolling toward you under a striped sun, all in glowing vertical strokes.

Hi, I'm Manish. I co-founded Parafield and I'm its Chief Scientist. We make spatial audio for audiobooks and audio stories. I also work on machine learning for health: a foundation model for fMRI, DeepTracer’s protein diffusion model, medical language models, and the benchmarks and RL environments we test them with.

About

  •   Co-author of two ICML 2026 papers and one at NeurIPS 2026. The University of Washington gave me its Undergraduate Research Excellence Award for reaching ICML before graduating.

  •   Contributed to CortexMAE, an fMRI foundation model on Vision Transformers that decodes cognitive states in real time.

  •   Built an RL environment on Prime Intellect that cut medical LLM hallucinations by 20–24%, by checking every claim in an answer.

  •   Kosmos: free, open-source software for narrators, with mastering, a teleprompter, and spelling and pronunciation checks. Our first customer uses it.

  •   Led training and evaluation of DeepTracer’s protein diffusion model (IEEE BIBM 2026 workshop), and got UW’s Undergraduate Leadership and Service Award for it.

  •   Pull requests to Swift, Turborepo, Vercel’s Chat SDK, Backstage, NASA’s F´ and AWS Powertools.

  •   In grade 9, part of a Guinness World Record: the most people completing an online programming lesson in 24 hours. Top 5% in India’s national STEM boards, twice.
