Key Research Areas

Deep Learning and Its Applications, Biometrics, Medical Imaging


About

I have received my Masters (M.Tech) and Doctoral (Ph.D) degrees from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2009 and 2014 respectively. Later, I joined the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE) in August 2014. Currently, I am working as an Associate Professor at IIT Mandi, HP. A few research areas in which I am active are Biometrics, Deep Learning and its applications, Medical Imaging. I am really passionate about teaching especially Deep Learning related topics.
