Short Bio

Currently working in LAMP, CVC hosted by Dr. Joost Van De Weijer and Dr. Bogdan Raducanu on problems in Continual Learning and Generative AI. Previously was a Post Doctoral Researcher with Prof Vineeth N Balasubramanian, IIT, Hyderabad sponsored by Microsoft Research and worked on problems on robustness of explainability methods. Obtained my PhD from CMI, Chennai guided by Prof K. V. Subrahmanyam and Dr. Amit Deshpande from Microsoft Research, India. My thesis was based on problems in Adversarial Robustness of Deep Learning Models.
