Atharvaa Rane is a Data Engineer at the COSMOS Research Center, University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She specializes in designing and maintaining data pipelines, building scalable systems for social media analytics, and applying machine learning techniques to support socio-computational research. Her previous work spans multiple domains, including healthcare analytics (cleaning and integrating complex EHR datasets to support chronic disease prediction), fraud detection (real-time ETL pipelines and anomaly detection), and full-stack development (building dashboards and applications using React, Node.js, and Python). Atharvaa also has hands-on experience with cloud technologies, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling efficient and reproducible research workflows.
At COSMOS, Atharvaa contributes to projects involving narrative diffusion tracking, misinformation detection, and socio-computational modeling, where she leverages her technical expertise to transform large-scale, messy data into actionable insights for researchers and partners. Outside of research, Atharvaa enjoys exploring new technologies, experimenting with machine learning projects, and traveling to discover new food and cultural experiences.
