I am a second year PhD student at UNSW Sydney jointly supervised by Dr. Lina Yao and Dr. Dong Gong. Prior to my PhD, I was a research assistant at the Computer Vision Center, Barcelona where I worked with Dr. Joost van de Weijer on continual learning.
I completed my Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degree in Advanced Systems Dependability from the University of St Andrews, UK, and l'Université de Lorraine, France. During my master's, I interned with the MULTISPEECH group at Inria Nancy where I worked with Dr. Emmanuel Vincent on training domain-specific language models for Automatic Speech Recognition. Before that, I was a machine learning engineer at FactSet Research Systems Inc. I earned my BS in Computer Science and Engineering from MNNIT Allahabad, India.
