About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, advised by Dr. Tejas Gokhale. I also closely collaborate with Dr. Kowshik Thopalli and Dr. Vivek Narayanaswamy from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. My research interests span across continual learning and concept-based interpretability with key focus on harnessing concept-based respresentations for adapting to novelty and variations.

Before starting my PhD, I was a Research Associate at IIT Hyderabad under the guidance of Dr. Vineeth Balasubramanian, where I worked on Generalized Class Discovery (GCD) and Open World Object Detection(OWOD) problems.

I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering from KLE Technological University, where I was advised by Dr. Uma Mudenagudi
