About

I was jack of all, master of none. Yet, I dared do a PhD. For what is PhD, but philosophy. And philosophy i did. Turned out i was still jack all along.

I am currently pursuing PhD in computer science at University of Central Florida. I am being advised by Dr. Yogesh Rawat and Dr. Mubarak Shah. I worked as Senior Member of Technical staff at Athena Health. Previously I worked at Samsung Research under Dr. Manish Sharma. In my earlier life, I spent time at IIT Roorkee, Parimal Lab, under Dr. Partha Pratim Roy. During my undergrad at NSIT, I was fortunate enough to have worked and learnt from Dr. Harish Parthasarathy. I spent time discussing quantum computing, and various mathematical problems with Dr. K.R. Parthasarathy. And of course, i cannot forget chai/samosa in college canteen. Last, but not the least, i had the great privilege of learning flute from my Guru Rajendra Prasanna.

The purpose of this website is for me to ‘think’ about analogies from a brain point of view and use those notions towards developing an intelligent machine. Computational models of intelligence shall keep coming and going. Fundamental principles of perception however shall remain same. I seek to uncover those.

I try to read diverse fields and understand how brain “might” work. Then, i build computational models encoding those mental constraints. My research delves into efficient-learning, part-whole hierarchies in neural nets, machine perception, binding problem, and simulating cognitive thought processes.
