I am a Associate Machine Learning Scientist (AMLS) at Wadhwani Institute for Artificial Intelligence. I completed my undergraduate studies (B. Tech., CSE) from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi, I was also a visiting undergraduate researcher (2022-2023) at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

I’m currently part of the Cotton ML Team of Wadhwani AI and I am working on trap based pest managemet for cotton farming, and on Crop Yield Estimate for Indian farmers. My role at Wadhwani AI is to develop a deep learning model that can detect the presence of pests in the field and classify them into different alert categories.

My current research interests are Deep Learning for Computer Vision, Medical Image Analysis, Explainable AI and Weakly Supervised Learning. I am also interested in Machine Learning for Healthcare and Computer Vision for Agriculture.

Feel free to reach out to me using my socials if you want to talk about any of these topics.
