Academic Experience

May 2020 — Aug 2020

Graduate Research Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University

Pittsburgh, PA

  • Developed a method to classify abnormal ciliary motion, using two-stream convolutional neural networks. Obtained a marginal improvement on the current benchmark performance for binary classification.
  • Contributed to ManufacturingNet, an open-source Python library offering robust implementations of featurization and learning algorithms to solve data-driven problems in the manufacturing industry. Accepted to NeurIPS 2020’s workshop on Machine Learning for Engineering Modelling, Simulation, and Design.
Jul 2019 — Dec 2019

Project Assistant @ Indian Institute of Science

Bengaluru, India

  • Implemented a novel approach for data-free deep learning using knowledge distillation for object detection.
  • Built a baseline model to generate an object detection dataset from a trained model’s weights for the Pascal dataset. The dataset was then used to distill knowledge from a larger model to a smaller model.
