I am working as a Research Scientist at VuCOMP, TX developing algorithms to detect cancer in mammograms and bone structure in lung X-ray images. I received a PhD degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Texas Tech University (TTU) and working as a Research Assistant at Applied Vision Lab (AVL) supervised by Dr. Hamed Sari-Sarraf. I received a MS degree at TTU with a major in Electrical Engineering and minor in Statistics. I completed my undergraduate studies with a BE degree from Anna University, India.

My research experience spans a period of five years during which I have published a number of peer reviewed articles, contributed to grant proposals, and in addition, developed and taught a course in computer vision at the ECE department at TTU. A significant portion of my research is focused to efficiently address the central problem in computer vision, i.e., image segmentation. Apart from the domain of image segmentation, I also have expertise in the closely related fields of pattern recognition, machine learning and bioinformatics. 

I carried out an internship in Imaging, Signals, and Machine Learning (ISML) group, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) which involved in building a next generation ballistics fingerprinting machine vision system. Currently, I am pursuing an internship at Communications Engineering Branch (CEB), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
