Biography

Hello, and thank you for visiting. I am currently a Machine Learning Engineer working on developing and testing small language models (SLMs) for b2b saas.

I completed my Master in Applied Science thesis from Queen’s University under the supervision of Dr. Ali Etemad. My research on Deepfake Detection was partially funded by the Vector Institute Scholarship in AI. Listen to this podcast to know more. In my professional journey, I have had the privilege of working with the Indian Space Research Organisation and the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata. My work there involved Microwave Image Processing and Hyperspectral Deep Learning, respectively, which provided a solid foundation for the practical applications of my research interests.

Interests

• Applications of Large Vision-Language Models for Facial Forensics
• Self-supervised Learning for Vision Tasks
• Hyperbolic Representation Learning
