Research Interests

Deep Learning

Computer Vision & Deep Learning

Building CNN and transformer-based architectures for real-world image classification — including agricultural disease detection from leaf imagery, with a publicly released dataset on IEEE DataPort.

TinyML / Edge AI

Edge AI & TinyML Deployment

Designing lightweight, optimised deep learning models deployable on resource-constrained microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32). Research published at WCAIAA 2026 (NFSU Goa) by SCRS.

Mathematical ML

Optimisation & Model Generalisation

Exploring the mathematical foundations of ML — loss landscape geometry, weight pruning, knowledge distillation, INT8 quantisation, and out-of-distribution generalisation strategies.

Quant Finance

Algorithmic Trading & Quantitative Systems

Data-driven decision modelling for algorithmic and high-frequency trading — statistical signal generation, backtesting frameworks, and risk-adjusted performance analysis.
