Welcome!

Hello there! I am a Ph.D. student at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) working in the area of Adversarial Robustness of Deep Networks. Prior to this, I worked for about 10 years at the R&D wing of SanDisk (now Western Digital) in analog and digital circuit design after my Bachelor's from NIT Warangal. I am broadly interested in exploring the vulnerabilities of Deep Networks and building algorithms to improve their robustness, which is crucial for their deployment in security-critical applications.

I have worked towards building efficient adversarial training algorithms without the use of adversarial samples during training (CVPR 2020), and with the use of only single-step adversarial attacks for training (NeurIPS 2020). I am currently working towards achieving adversarial robustness to real-world adversarial attacks, which may not be restricted to small epsilon bounds (AdvML@ICML 2021).
