Statement of Purpose
Please briefly (one or two paragraphs) answer the following questions.
16. Briefly summarize one of the projects (or multiple closely related projects) that you have
worked on. Describe your process of thinking through the steps you took in working on the
project.

The project I worked on involved using an interactive dashboard to predict heart disease The
project's objective is to identify whether a patient is likely to be diagnosed with a cardiovascular
heart disease based on their medical features, including age, gender, chest pain, and other
information.

For this project, we researched heart disease prediction journals, used research papers as
references, and understood the benefits and drawbacks of the project. Next, with the aid of the
internet, we collected dataset for the project that has a variety of patient reports through the
dataset and machine learning process, and we used python as backend followed by html and css
as front end to create a user-friendly website to collect the desired data from the user to determine
whether the project is successful.

The prediction model can be thoroughly and accurately analysed with the help of machine learning
and data mining. The project's main objective is to identify cardiovascular disease or heart disease
using a range of methods and techniques to determine the prognosis.
17. Why do you want to apply for Microsoft Research (MSRI) RF program? How does this
program align with your career goals, if any?

The Research Fellow Program at MSR India offers a fantastic opportunity to work on innovative and
significant research issues with mentoring and direction from top experts.The conceptualization,
execution, assessment, and deployment stages of the research lifecycle have all benefited from the
contributions of research fellows. My career in engineering, research, and entrepreneurship are all
prepared by this programme. It will strengthen my profession and help me reach my future
ambitions.
