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. Currently, I also serve as a Teaching Assistant.
Prior to this, I completed my Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, where my thesis on source camera forensics was advised by Dr. Puneet Goyal. During this time, I was also privileged to collaborate with Prof. Gaurav Sharma from the University of Rochester.
After my master’s, I continued working in source camera forensics as a Research Intern in the IPSA Lab at IIT Ropar under the supervision of Dr. Puneet Goyal. Later, I joined the CVPR Lab at IIT Ropar as a Junior Research Fellow, working with Dr. Santosh Kumar Vipparthi on federated learning for 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
Diffusion Models
Multi-Agent Systems
Vision Transformers
Machine Learning
My research broadly focuses on Computer Vision and Deep Learning. I am currently exploring Small Language Models, Multi-Agent Systems, and Graph Diffusion Transformers, with an interest in building efficient, reliable, and structure-aware learning systems for complex reasoning and generative modeling tasks.
Previously, I worked on the Application of Federated Learning for Aerial Scene Understanding, with a particular interest in extreme data heterogeneity. I have also contributed to Source Camera Forensics, where I developed techniques for camera model identification and contributed to the community by developing a large-scale source camera forensics dataset.
