I am a Master's student at EPFL primarily focussing on Computer Graphics and Vision applications.
During my Bachelor's at IIIT-Allahabad, I worked on Computer Vision related problems such as Visual Place Recognition (VPR), and Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) over a Long Horizon. Currently, as a Master's student at EPFL, I am working on the exciting domain of Differentiable Rendering with the Realistic Graphics Lab (RGL) led by Prof. Wenzel Jakob .

Multi-Object Tracking with Re-Identification to study interactions between Trichogramma wasps over a long horizon. As part of my Bachelor's thesis at Inria, Sophia Antipolis under the supervision of Dr. François Bremond.
Research Projects
Gonio-photometer Calibration & Mesh Reconstruction using Differentiable Rendering Algorithms
A complete data preparation (via ray casting) and deep learning pipeline for Semantic Image Segmentation of City Meshes using 2D Projections of the 3D Meshes.
Localization of an agent running in a different domains by comparing with a static map. Siamese embeddings, custom dynamic-branched CNN, and particle filters used.
Stabilization Techniques for the Training of Generative Adversarial Networks
Stabilized the error oscillation of Discriminator by adding a damping term to its. objective function. Further, improved structural integrity of outputs by using a pre-training scheme.
Extended the barebones raytracer, Nori for the Advanced Computer Graphics (CS-440) course with features including homogenous participating media and won the runners-up prize in the rendering competition.
