I am a 2nd year doctoral student at the University of Texas at Austin, under the supervision of Dr. Georgios Pavlakos. My research currently focuses on understanding how humans interact with their surroundings, especially with objects, and how this interaction can be quantified using 3D representations.
I have worked on various projects in the fields of Human-Object Interaction, Pose Classification and Contact Estimation, Tiny Object Detection and Classification, Audio Classification, and Biomedical Image Segmentation. I am open to working on new projects on topics both known and unexplored by me.
Working on the joint reconstruction of full-body humans and objects from natural images under Dr. Georgios Pavlakos.
Developed a discrete contact annotation tool for vertex-level contact annotation under Dr. Michael Black. Created a vertex-level human contact dataset and developed a framework for detecting contact from natural images of humans (ICCV 2023).
Subsequently, worked on joint reconstruction of human and object meshes from natural images given their contact regions (CVPR 2025).
Developed a combined detection-classification pipeline for High-Resolution images of Trichogramma wasps (VISAPP 2023).
Developed a framework for the diagnosis of patients as ALS/PD or Normal, based on phoneme utterance audios, under Dr. Prasanta Ghosh.
Developed a framework for Automatic Pose Identification and Recommendation for Yoga asanas under Dr. Brejesh Lall.
Performed independent research under Dr. Debangshu Dey on Glaucoma detection using deep learning methods (Published in Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, Elsevier).
