Swati obtained her PhD from the University of Strasbourg, France.

During her time at Microsoft, she has been involved in developing data-driven approaches for agricultural applications, such as soil carbon modeling using causal methods and identifying sustainable farming practices.
These efforts also aim to enable better yield prediction using GXE data. 

Swati has had the opportunity to work on a variety of research areas in the past, including image processing and analysis approaches for geospatial and medical imaging applications, as well as teaching underprivileged and first-generation college students.
More recently, she has tackled problems in the autonomous driving space at HERE Technologies, developing scalable mapping and localization approaches for lane-level crowd-sourced data. 

Outside of work, Swati is passionate about autism awareness and assisting autistic adults in obtaining and retaining employment.
