About Me
I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo (SUNY), working in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CVML) Lab under the supervision of Dr. Vishnu Lokhande. I also serve as a Teaching Assistant at UB.
Prior to this, I completed my Master’s in Artificial Intelligence from the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, where my thesis on Source Camera Forensics was advised by Dr. Puneet Goyal. I was privileged to collaborate with Prof. Gaurav Sharma from the University of Rochester during this time.
Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the CVPR Lab, IIT Ropar, under the guidance of Dr. Santosh Kumar Vipparthi, focusing on Federated Learning in Aerial Scene Classification.
I completed my B.Tech from University of Engineering and Management Jaipur, where my undergraduate thesis on Driver’s Drowsiness Detection was advised by Mr. Dipta Mukherjee.
Research Interests
My research is focused on Computer Vision and Deep Learning. My current work is focused on Application of Federated Learning for Aerial Scene Understanding, with a particular interest in extreme data heterogeneity. Previously I have worked on Source Camera Forensics, where I developed techniques for camera model idenfication and also contributed to the community by developing a large scale source camera forensics dataset.
