I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Engineering, KIIT Bhubaneshwar.

I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at National University of Singapore (NUS). I worked with Prof. Mohan Kankanhalli and Prof. Jussi Keppo in the N-CRiPT Lab.

My current research is in Responsible AI, Machine Unlearning, Data Valuation, Synthetic Data Generation, and Federated Learning. I earier research include video surveillance (moving object detection, anomaly detection), human emotion analysis, aerial surveillance (UAV-based visual data analytics), visual quality enhancement (haze removal, night-image enhancement, image inpainting).
