About Me

Hello! I work, study, and enjoy my time at TCS Research (TRDDC), where I am a scientist in the Embedded Devices and Intelligent Systems group in Pune. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working at the Coordinated science Laboratory under the guidance of Narendra Ahuja. I earned my Ph.D. in 2022 from IIT Bombay, specializing in remote sensing applications using deep learning frameworks. My doctoral work was recognized with the “Excellence in Ph.D. Thesis” award, and I was mentored by Avik Bhattacharya with co-supervision from Biplab Banerjee and Mihai Datcu. I also hold Master's degrees from IIT Kharagpur.

Currently, my research focuses on various aspects of deep learning in image analysis, including learning with limited supervision, data retrieval, cross-sensor applications, data fusion, vision-language models, zero-shot learning, and multi-modal learning in vision and remote sensing applications.

Research interests

Fields I have published work in include Deep learning • Graph convolution networks • Kolmogorov Arnold Networks • Isothetic covers • Rough-set analysis • Morphological neural networks • Vision language models.
With applications including Zero-shot learning • document imaging • few-shot learning • self-supervised learning • natural language processing • computer vision • document imaging • remote sensing .

Broadly speaking, my interests lie in the fields of linguistics, remote sensing applications and computer science. Most of my work is motivated by problems found at the intersections of these fields, with an arching theme of research being understanding empirically developed machine learning techniques.
