Welcome!

I’m a computer vision researcher with interests in deep learning with limited supervision.

I’m fortunate to have been a part of Dr. Vineeth N Balasubramanian’s research group - Lab1055 at IIT Hyderabad, while closely collaborating with Dr. Wei Guo at Field Phenomics Lab, University of Tokyo. During my time at IITH, my research focused on using active learning techniques for object detection with applications to precision agriculture and plant phenotyping. I have done internships at University of Tokyo (Summer 2018) and AIST Tokyo (Summer 2019). I currently work at Qualcomm in deep learning automation for mobile platforms.

I love to keep up with new research by writing paper summaries as blog posts.

Here’s a link to my (fairly recent) CV
