I am a Ph.D. research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (IIT Mandi) in the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE) under the supervision of Dr. Dinesh Singh, my research focuses on Forensic Craniofacial Identification and Cross-domain alignment.

I hold a B.Tech. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Ranchi University and M.Tech. in Biomedical Engineering from Jadavpur University.

As an active member of the Visual Intelligence and Machine Learning (VIML) research group at IIT Mandi, led by Dr. Dinesh Singh and Dr. Rohit Saluja, I contribute to cutting-edge research in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition.

At IIT Mandi, I thrive in an intellectually stimulating environment, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI and biomedical engineering. My goal is to develop innovative solutions that enhance human well-being through technology.
