- Me
Welcome
Bio
I am currently a Masters of Science in Computer Vision student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I perform research in computer vision and am focused on research that has large practical impact and that opens up new avenues of research. I am also the founder and president of The Computer Vision Club @ CMU, the first computer vision club in USA. Prior to joining CMU, I did a dual Computer Science and Mathematics degree at The University of Texas at Austin. I also started a company TexteDB where I created an in-memory database for text analytics.

Research Projects
Scene2Synth: Inserting synthetic objects into a dynamic scenes using lightfield videosWe develop a system that allows the user to photorealistically insert a synthetic object into a lightfield video, where the synthetic object can interact with the moving objects in the video realistically

Perpetual Generative Adversarial Fooling of Neural Networks
An approach to using GANs to generate infinitely many, visually dissimilar samples to fool neural networks perpetually
- We generate both images of dogs and its corresponding perturbation using GANs
Better Stochastic Gradient Descent
Created a novel variant of stochastic gradient descent that consistently outperformed all current gradient descent variants (SGD, Adam, RMSProp, AdaGrad etc.) tested on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets
- Convergence of our method compared to others
Improving Video Segmentation Using Region Proposals and FCNs
Introduced a novel approach to video segmentation inspired by two modern segmentation approaches
- The images of the left are the baselines using a single approach, while the right image shows the result of our combined approach

Spaghetti sauce generation using Machine Learning
This project was done under the Freshman Research Initiative at UT Austin.
For this project, I created a program to generate novel spaghetti sauces based on a database of sauces containing various flavor information. The final sauce produced by the program was prepared and presented to the class during the final presentation.

Implemented a scalable, parallelized clustering algorithm to cluster drugs by their effects on cells. Won Bronze Prize in HPCQuest 2011.
