About Me

I am a Senior Researcher in the Multimodal Experiences Lab of the Advanced Tehnology Group at Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco. Prior to this I graduated with my PhD from the DICE Lab at New York University under the supervision of Dr. Chinmay Hegde, in 2022. I am an alumnus of Iowa State University and BITS Pilani, Goa, where I earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics.

My current research interests and work at Dolby involves leveraging multimodal AI to improve long video semantic understanding, including video moment retrieval, question answering, scene graph generation, action localization and active speaker detection.

During the course of my PhD, I worked on several problems in inverse imaging, such as compressed sensing, phase retrieval and HDR imaging using deep neural networks. On the computer vision side, I have worked on developing algorithms to train adversarially robust neural networks. Concurrently I have also looked at new attack models to inspect vulnerabilities of vision based transformer architectures.
