I am a PhD student and Research Assistant in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, working in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning Lab under the supervision of Dr. Vishnu Lokhande. My research spans machine learning, optimization, generative AI, multi agent systems, and computational neuroimaging. Previously, I served as a Teaching Assistant at UB.

I completed my Master's in Artificial Intelligence at IIT Ropar, where my thesis on source camera forensics was advised by Dr. Puneet Goyal, with collaboration from Prof. Gaurav Sharma. I later worked as a Research Intern in the IPSA Lab and as a Junior Research Fellow in the CVPR Lab, where I worked with Dr. Santosh Kumar Vipparthi on federated learning for aerial scene classification.

I graduated with a B.Tech from the University of Engineering and Management Jaipur in 2021. My undergraduate thesis focused on a driver drowsiness detection system and was advised by Mr. Dipta Mukherjee.
