About Me
I am a third-year PhD student at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof. Timothy Hospedales and Dr. Da Li. My research interests revolve around Generative AI, Diffusion Models, Multi-modal Learning, Foundation models, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Meta-Learning, and Representation Learning.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics at Indian Institute of Technology where I was advised by Prof. Biplab Banerjee and Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri. During my bachelor’s degree, I was also a summer intern at Sony Corporation, Tokyo where I worked on real-time image compression using deep learning techniques.
For more details on my research, please have a look at my CV and Google Scholar profile.
I am looking for Postdoc/Research Scientist positions. Feel free to drop me an email for research discussions, collaborations, or just for a little chat!
