I am a research scholar (Ph.D.) in the Dept. of CSE, IITR, under the supervision of Dr. Partha Pratim Roy (Associate Professor, CSE, IITR). My research interests lie in the fields of Brain-Computer Interface, EEG, Cancelable Biometrics, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision.

I completed my Master of Technology (M.Tech) from PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacturing, Jabalpur, under the supervision of Prof. Pritee Khanna (Professor, CSE, PDPM IIITDMJ) in 2020. My master’s dissertation looks at “Cancelable Biometrics for Low-End Devices”. I completed my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science from Hansraj College, University of Delhi, New Delhi, in 2017.

Doctoral Dissertation

Human Behavior Prediction using EEG: My area of research spans Brain-Computer Interface, Pattern Recognition, and applications of Deep Learning. My work primarily focuses on leveraging AI for extracting, analyzing, and interpreting the brain signals mathematically to learn more about the human mind and behavior.
