About

I'm a Research Associate at IIT Hyderabad, pursuing an M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CGPA 9.86/10), working with Dr. Vineeth N. Balasubramanian. My research centers on computer vision and generative models, with a focus on image colorization, rethinking evaluation metrics for generative tasks, and human pose estimation / correction. I also spent time at Mitsubishi Electric, Japan, building a Vision-Language-Action model pipeline for industrial object assembly, and serve as a teaching assistant for Deep Learning for Computer Vision at IIT Madras BS and NPTEL.
