01 / ABOUT
Curiosity drives the research.
From the depth of mountain landscapes to deep neural network architectures, my journey has grown around one question: how can intelligent systems better understand what people see and do?
I am a Research Associate at CSIR-CSIO, Chandigarh, working on applied computer vision and deep learning. My current work includes eye-gaze tracking, visual attention analysis, data collection and preprocessing, model evaluation and multimodal behavioural data.
I enjoy taking problems from messy real-world data all the way to reproducible experiments and usable systems.
