I am a Senior Engineer/Researcher at Qualcomm developing low-power and compute-efficient computer vision/machine learning algorithms.

Before joining Qualcomm, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Northeastern University working with Prof. Jennifer Dy, Prof. Octavia Camps and Prof. Dana H Brooks. I completed my PhD in Computing and Information Sciences from Rochester Institute of Technology under advisement of Prof. Linwei Wang.

Research
What I find exciting and truly satisfying working in modern AI and machine learning is the diversity of ideas from different fields like Physics, economics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, electrical engineering, control and neural network architecture engineering. Ideas have crossed fields and found interesting adaptations and interpretations resulting into ingenious solutions of problems both in machine learning and outside. It is beautiful and I feel happy to have contributed in this process. During PhD, I applied VAE as inductive bias in solving inverse problems (see here), and connected generalization with smoothness and invariance (see here). Later, I applied idea from learning theory to KL divergence estimation (see here), and introduced the geometric interpretation of score-based generative models (see here).

At Qualcomm, I am excited to work on machine learning, computer vision and AI research works that will be realized as product, and will have real-world impact on everyday lives of numerous people.
