Research Interests

My research mainly focuses on building systems using AI and Machine/Deep Learning to improve the existing technologies in Cyber security, Computer Vision and Healthcare. 
 
Currently, I am exploring some interesting applications of Machine Learning / Deep Learning in the following areas: 
  1. Drone Surveillance for Smart Cities
  2. Federated Learning with Applications in Computer Vision
  3. Facial Emotion Recognition in Low-resolution Video Feeds
  4. Intrusion and Anomaly Detection in the context of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs)
To apply for a thesis/RP/project-type course in the above-mentioned areas under my guidance, please email me or meet me in person!
