Biography
I'm currently a Scientist in Visual Intelligence department of I2R, A-STAR Singapore. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at National University of Singapore, working with Prof. Lee Wee Sun. I received PhD (2015-20) in Computer Science from IIIT Delhi, under the supervision of Prof. Chetan Arora. I completed my bachelor degree in Computer Science from IIIT Allahabad during 2010-14.
My research interest lies in the area of Computer Vision . Specifically, I work on applying combinatorial algorithms for MRF-MAP inference. I am also keenly interested to exploit the structure of the vision problems for a better optimization of the deep learning architecture.
