Research Focus

My research focuses on developing robust and efficient deep learning models for computer vision applications. I am particularly interested in self-supervised learning approaches that can learn meaningful representations from unlabeled data, multimodal learning that combines visual and textual information, and adversarial robustness to create more reliable AI systems.

Working under the guidance of Prof. Arijit Sur and Dr. Pinaki Mitra at the MultiMedia Lab, IIT Guwahati, I explore novel approaches to address fundamental challenges in machine learning and computer vision.
