About Me

I am a Ph.D. Research Scholar in the Department of Data Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Palakkad. My research focuses on designing efficient deep neural network (DNN) accelerator for edge devices. My areas of interest include DNN compaction techniques, DNN accelerators and software hardware co-design. Through my work, I aim to advance the performance and energy efficiency of edge computing solutions, contributing to the broader fields of AI and embedded systems.
