Bio
As a Computer Vision and Deep Learning researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I work at the intersection of unsupervised learning and computer vision, specializing in building footprint reconstruction and multimodal foundation models. My research, published in top-tier venues like ICLR and CVPR, focuses on developing innovative solutions in unsupervised object detection and real-time vision systems. With NSF-funded research and industry recognition including the President’s Award at John Deere, I bridge the gap between theoretical advances and practical applications. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Iowa State University, I contribute to groundbreaking projects across national laboratories while serving as a reviewer for prestigious conferences including ECCV, ICML, and NeurIPS. I specialize in developing scalable solutions that push the boundaries of computer vision and deep learning, with particular expertise in:
- Unsupervised learning algorithms for object detection and discovery
- Real-time computer vision systems for edge computing
- Multi-modal foundation models for earth observation
- Semantic segmentation and building footprint reconstruction

Personal life
I currently reside in Ames, IA, USA, though my roots trace back to Bihar, India. During my formative years, I resided in Mussoorie, India, where I pursued my education at Oak Grove School. Since 2017, I have called the United States my home, where I am currently pursuing my studies.
During my leisure hours, I indulge in reading and attempting to cook, albeit with limited success.
