I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in August 2022 at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, mentored by Senior Lecturer Sreenatha Anavatti and Prof. Hussein Abbass. My doctoral dissertation focused on developing Generative Models for dealing with classification and clustering problems in situations where learning is both imbalanced and ongoing (Continual). I received my M.S. (by research) in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur(IIT-KGP), where my thesis was based on developing fuzzy clustering algorithms for TS rule-based dynamical system identification.
I am a Research Fellow at the Saab-NTU Joint Lab, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I am currently engaged in digital tower technology projects encompassing the development of real-time object detection problems (few shot domain adaptation) and the generation of precise runway exit predictions through the analysis of historical time series data while accounting for concept and data drift. I have previous experience as a tech lead at KPIT (R&D) in Pune, India, working on various autonomous vehicle projects (autopilot software). Prior to my employment at KPIT, I held positions as a junior and senior research fellow, contributing to virtual lab initiatives hosted at IIT-KGP.

Research
For the last decade, my research and development efforts have focused on machine learning, data mining, and image processing. My current research aims to develop robust transformer models from few-shot samples under offline and continual learning settings. In addition to this, I am enthusiastic about topics like class imbalance, few-shot learning, generative models, and their practical applications.
Since 2013, I have supervised more than ten students working as research interns on projects that led to publications, technical reports, and dissertations. These interns came from a variety of prestigious academic institutions in India, Singapore, and Australia. In addition, I've participated in KPIT recruiting teams for both professionals and interns.Current Students:
Mr. Gao Yu Lee, (Pursuing in PhD), NTU Singapore
Mr. Md. Rasel Sarkar, (Pursuing in PhD), UNSW Canberra, Australia
Mr. Sanjay Bhargav, (Pursuing in Dual Degree), IIT Kharagpur, India
Research Topics
Computer Vision
Few-shot/zero-shot Learning (Offline and Continual learning settings)
Robust and Explainable AI
