Biography

I am a Research Fellow at Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA, and Research Assistant Professor in Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University, NY, USA. I am FTE as a Sr Member of Tech Staff at AT&T, NJ, USA.

I recieved my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stony Brook University under supervision of Prof. Klaus Mueller in 2020.
In 2018, I was awarded ICTCCP Research Excellence Award. In 2016, I was awarded PhD Fellowship of SFB-TRR 161 (DFG) for a Project on Adaptive Self-Consistent Visualization. During the fellowship, I was a visiting researcher in the Visualization Research Center, University of Stuttgart, Germany under supervision of Prof Daniel Weiskopf. I worked as a student researcher in Brookhaven National Lab, New York from 2017 - 2018. During summer of 2019, I got an opportunity to intern at AT&T Labs, where I worked on deep learning driven forecasting of network outage and developed a visual analytic tool for geospatial data exploration. I am currently working with Schepens Eye Reseach Instite at Harvard Medical School on Eye movement analysis of visually impaired people walking on the streets.

I received my Bachelor of Technology (Undergraduate) in Electronics and Communication Engineering, from The LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur, India in 2014. During my bachelor’s I got a chance to work with Prof Michael Kozubek and Prof. Martin Maska at CBIA, Brno, Czech Republic as a Research Intern. I was a Project Trainee at Philips Research Lab (Healthcare) with Senior Scientist Vipin Gupta on the topic of Automatic Vessel detection in Colposcopic Images. I also worked as a research intern with Prof Anil K Tiwari at IIT Jodhpur in the field of Image Interpolation, Compression and Noise Removal.

My research interests include Data and Visual Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Eye Tracking.
