About

I have done B.E. Hons. from BITS Goa in EEE and have worked at BHEL for four years. I completed my Ph.D. in Robust Multilingual Indic OCR from IITB-Monash Research Academy and did a postdoc on road safety-related problems at IIIT Hyderabad. My research interests lie in the fields of Computer Vision, applied ML, deep learning, human interactive applications, road safety, open world models, Computer Vision in extreme weather conditions, and applications related to agriculture and saving environment.
I have received several awards from my works which are listed here: https://rohitsaluja22.github.io/awards.html
