I work as an Assistant Professor in the Data Science and Engineering Department at IISER Bhopal. My research combines concepts from transportation, built-form planning, disasters, and health infrastructure management. I supervise the GeoAI4Cities research lab, which integrates spatial data and AI to solve various urban problems. My recent focus has been on the development, attribution, and application of digital twins. I am currently working in 3D computer vision on representations such as LiDAR, depth images, and mesh.
I am looking for motivated researchers to join my group. Please Leave A Message or email me if you are interested
