Research Interests

My research interests include Computer Vision, ML Robustness, Diffusion Models, and Efficient Deep Learning.

Ph.D. Focus

Real-world images frequently have different corruptions/perturbations, like motion blur, noise (caused by low-light conditions), and digital compression, appearing in various digital versions of images/videos. Specifically, computer vision tasks face challenges with image degradation, leading to diminishing model performance or reliability. My Ph.D. focuses on narrowing the performance gap across diverse computer vision tasks, bridging the disparity between real-world and pristine/clean images.
