About Me

I am a Computer Science PhD student in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Previously, I was a Pre-Doctoral Researcher at Google DeepMind in Bangalore, India, advised by Dr. Vaibhav Rajan, Prof. Sara Beery, and Alok Talekar. My work focused on leveraging sparse Street View via generative cross-view fusion to enhance satellite crop monitoring, aiming to impact millions of farmers by enabling optimized resource allocation.

Previously, I was a Post Graduate Engineer Trainee at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India, where I developed scalable mapping solutions using complex multi-sensor data. I received my Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (M.Tech in AI & Data Science and B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering) from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, where I was advised by Prof. Biplab Banerjee and Prof. Gemma Roig on open-domain generalization.
