  Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

  Feb 2024 - May 2024

  Research Intern @ Computational Imaging Lab

  Supervisor: Dr. Kaushik Mitra Worked on perfecting image quality by eliminating flare artifacts commonly found in images captured with mobile and pocket cameras. Using cutting-edge techniques like FlareRemovalGAN, which harnesses the power of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and algorithms like UFormer, we aim to effectively remove flares and enhance the overall visual appeal of images.

  Young Research Fellow Program | IIT Madras

  Aug 2024 - now

  Young Research Fellow

  Selected as a student researcher in the prestigious IITM Young Research Fellow program, part of a 17-student cohort, I am working on a project titled "Novel Uses of Machine Learning for Differential Jet Quenching and Heavy Flavour Measurements in the CMS experiment at the LHC," under the guidance of Prof. Prabhat Pujahari. This research aims to apply machine learning techniques to advance our understanding of jet clustering, classification, and heavy flavour physics.
