I am a first-year PhD student at the Univ. of California, San Diego (UCSD) advised by Prof. Tsui-Wei (Lily) Weng. I recently completed my MS CS thesis at UCSD, working with Prof. Weng on Interpretability-Guided Adversarial Robustness. My major research interests are in Interpretability, Adversarial Robustness, and Domain Adaptation for Deep Neural Networks.
During Summer 2023, I worked as a Research Intern at Sony R&D Center, Tokyo on Labeled Dataset Generation using Generative AI models. Before starting MS, I was a Project Assistant at Video Analytics Lab, IISc, Bangalore with Prof. R. Venkatesh Babu and his Ph.D. student, Jogendra Nath Kundu. My work there was focused on empirical and theoretical aspects of Domain Adaptation. I completed B. Tech. (Electrical & Electronics Engg.) (2016-20) from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, where I was a core coordinator at IvLabs (Robotics Club). |
