I have recently been promoted to Scientist II at Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR, Singapore. Here, I am with the Visual Intelligence department and was Scientist I. Recently, I received Niche Skill allowances from A*STAR Singapore. I was Research Fellow at  CYSREN and Biometric and Forensic Lab (BFL), under School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technical University (NTU), Singapore where I am working on Image text spotting using deep learning under the guidance of Prof. Adams Kong. Earlier, I worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) at Imaging Lab, GREYC UMR6072 funded by Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) at University de Caen Normandie, France. 

I did my Ph.D. thesis in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Roorkee. My research was focused on developing a Mobile Vision System for Plant Biometric System - using plant leaf images in 2016. Dr. P. Sateesh Kumar, Associate Professor, CSE, IIT Roorkee and Dr. Debashis Ghosh, Head of the Department & Professor, ECE, IIT Roorkee are my supervisors under whom I carried my thesis work.   

I pursued the Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) from IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology) Allahabad in 2011. HCI is concerned with the joint performance of tasks by humans and machines. It hones up Human capabilities to use machines (including the learning ability of interfaces), algorithms and programming of the interface itself. I have worked on various interaction techniques such as 6D mouse, gesture, head-eye tracker and so on. This is an emerging technology. I have also studied Humanoid Robotics and its various challenges in research. 

I received a B.Tech. (Hons) in Computer Science from CET, IILM-AHL, with a gold medal in 2009. I have also received several best paper awards in conferences like SocProS 2023. 

I am an active reviewer and committee members of several journals and conferences such as IEEE Potentials, IEEE Access, IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence, Knowledge-Based Systems, Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, WPC Springer, IETE Journal of Research, IETE Journal of Review, Journal of Agr. Sci. Tech., International Journal of Data Analysis Techniques and Strategies, Microelectronics Journal, The Open Medical Devices Journal, IET Biometrics, Neural Computing and Applications, ICITCS 2015 Malaysia, 7th ICISA2016 Vietnam, TENCON 2016 & 2017 (Session Chair), CAST 2016, ICCI 2017, BIOSIGNALS 2018 (TCP), SLICE 2018 Spain, ISBA 2018 Singapore (local chair), BIOSIGNALS 2019 (TCP), IEEE MASS 2020 IIT Roorkee (Session Chair), IIENC 2020 India (Session Chair, International Advisory Committee and TCP), IJCAI 2020, BIOSIGNALS 2021-24 (TCP), IJCAI 2021, WACV 2022-24, SLICE 2021 (TP Co-Chair), MIND 2019-2021, IJCAI 2022, ECCV 2022, CVIP 2023 (Session Chair), ECAI 2023, IC2E3 2023, UTCA 2023, E2A 2023 and many others.
