I'm a 2nd year PhD student in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. I work with Dr. Hakan Bilen in the Visual Computing Group (VICO). My secondary supervisor is Dr. Changjian Li from GraphVix lab. Previously, I was a full-time research assistant at MBZUAI, Abu Dhabi, where I worked on computer vision and machine learning with Dr Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Dr Salman Khan and Dr Hisham Cholakkal. During my undergrad, I have worked with Dr Yang Wang at the University of Manitoba, Canada and Dr Partha Roy at IIT Roorkee, India. I did my bachalors from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in Electrical Engineering.
