My work interests are Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Optimization. I write code that makes software intelligent, some people call it "Artificial Intelligence". I also enjoy the mathematical modeling of real life problems.
Passionate about creating intelligent systems that solve real-world problems
I'm a passionate AI researcher with expertise in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Optimization. My journey began with a strong foundation in computer science from IIIT Vadodara, followed by an MS by Research from IIIT Hyderabad.
I love to work and collaborate on bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and practical applications.
Currently, I'm working at Napkin AI (a visual AI startup), leading the AI research to make the visual communication easier and more intuitive. Previously, I've had the privilege of working at Amazon as an Applied Scientist and conducting research at Microsoft Research Lab, India.
Please feel free to connect if you have an interesting problem to discuss and brainstorm solutions!
My professional journey and academic background
A selection of research projects published during my academic and professional career
Having a good smartphone camera doesn't always guarantee that the images captured with it will have good quality. This research focuses on predicting spatial frequency response from texture patterns in natural images.
