I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California(USC), where I was advised by Prof. Antonio Ortega. My research interests include signal processing, machine learning, computer vision, and vision-language model.
Before joining the PhD program, I had the privilege of working as a Researcher at TCS Research and Innovation Labs, India. I enjoyed the industry research settings contributing to industry-level innovative solutions. I also interned at Nokia Bell Labs and at Amazon Science. I find great fulfillment in working within the industry as it has a direct impact on people's everyday lives.
