Won Campus 3MT Competition @ UMD in May'24; Won Engineering 3MT Competition @ UMD in Mar'24; Selected as a GLEAM fellow @ UMD ECE in Aug'23; Published 'Design Of High Bandwidth Circularly Polarised Antipodal Vivaldi Array for 5G Applications'.
Research Experience
Previously a graduate signal processing algorithms intern at Hughes Network Systems and briefly worked as an undergrad at Bharat Electronics; Current projects include XAI techniques for uncovering spurious correlations, comparing modern vs traditional image inpainting algorithms, solving underwater SLAM, building a face classifier and digit recognizer from scratch, and efficient implementations of fixed and floating point MODEMs.
Education
Graduated with a B.Tech (First Class with Distinction) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Delhi Technological University, India in 2021, under the guidance of Prof Asok De for his bachelor's thesis on designing circularly polarized antennas for 5G systems; Started PhD program at UMD ECE in Jan'23, advised by Prof Min Wu.
Background
A PhD student specializing in the intersection of signal processing and explainable machine learning to solve critical research problems. Currently part of the Media and Security Team led by Prof Min Wu.
