Research Interests

I am a PhD student in Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I am working with Dr. Christopher Kanan on machine learning algorithms mostly in the intersection of language and vision. My overall goal is to develop models capable of learning language grounded visual representations.
Besides my main research, I am also interested in studying how technology in general can be effectively used for betterment of lives in developing and underdeveloped countries. I am looking forward to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds and share ideas on how AI in general can be used for more good.
