About me

I am a Doctoral Research Schollar in the Department of Elecrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and a member of Vision and Image Processing Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri. I completed master's degree from Department of Elecrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2012, under the supervision of Prof. Rajbabu Velmurugan. Later I had been working at Cisco Systems, Bangalore, prior to my PhD programme.

Research

My long-term research goal is to develop machine learning algorithms for solving computer vision problems with human-like efficiency and adaptability. In my doctoral research, I have been mainly working on distance metric learning methods for person re-identification in video surveillance cameras. My current research focus is on zero-shot learning, few-shot learning, self-supervised learning as well as the intersection of vision and language.
