About me

I am an aspiring AI researcher and an IIT Kharagpur graduate with experience in computer vision, robotics, IoT, and computational chemistry. At the Autonomous Ground Vehicle (Autonomy and Intelligence) Research group, I worked on embedded systems, ROS, Computer Vision, 3D Reconstruction, and SLAM. With the collaboration of a few peers in the group, we published our research on entity augmentation techniques for vertical federated learning at the GLOW@International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

As the Project Lead for Steel Eye, I developed a real-time ladle tracking system for steel plants where I worked on object detection and recognition pipelines for industry deployment, along with building a web interface integrated with an SQL chatbot for plant operators. During my research internship at Laboratoire Hubert Curien in France, funded by the prestigious Charpak Lab Scholarship, I engineered a state-of-the-art compression algorithm for JSON-LD data, improving the efficiency of constrained web applications through significant network overhead reduction.

I've also explored the intersection of AI and materials engineering, developing machine learning interatomic potentials for tungsten and gallium arsenide to enable scalable molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage. Always eager to explore new frontiers in AI research and collaborate on projects that push technological boundaries.
