I am an ECE PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin guided by Prof. Alan Bovik. I am a member of Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering (LIVE) where we work towards the development and optimization of blind/non-blind image and video quality assessment/enhancement techniques. I am also highly interested in generative modeling for image/video, and 3D content, focusing on making generative methods more accessible to the creator community.

Before pursuing a PhD I worked as a Lead Research Engineer at Samsung Research Institute Bangalore in the Vision Research Group which primarily contributes to the latest vision-based solutions for Samsung flagship devices. While at Samsung, we developed an Image Super-Resolution solution for the device Gallery which has been deployed on various Samsung devices across the globe since 2020. We also developed a Video Super-Resolution solution for the device capture pipeline.

I graduated with a dual degree from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. My specialization was Visual Image Processing and Embedded systems. I also completed a minor in Computer Science and Engineering.
