About me

I am a musician and am currently working as a freelance researcher in audio technology.

I have been learning Carnatic Vocal Music for 14 years under Ganabhushanam Prof. Y. Mathai and am currently learning the Veena under Shri Gokul Subramaniam from the Guruguha School, Kolkata for the past 6 years. Music, due to the wonderful gurus I was blessed with, has had a very strong influence in my life and that is why my technological research has an inclination towards music as well. I have shared some music videos in the Music tab

I received my M.Tech degree in Electronics & Telecommunication with a specialization in Signal Processing in July 2017 with a CGPA of 9.03. My M.Tech thesis titled "Real-Time Monophonic Musical Note Progression Identifier", describes a system that detects the pitch frequencies of the musical notes played/sung by an instrument/vocalist and identifies their subsequent note progression (raga in the Indian context). You can see more about it on the Research tab. I am currently working on creating an Android app for Automatic raga/scale identification in Indian Classical Music.
