About Me

Hello! I am a third year Ph.D student advised by Prof. Hao (Richard) Zhang.
My research revolves around the Geometric application of deep learning for content creation and understanding.
Specifically, I focus on Structural generation of 3D Indoor Scenes and 2D layouts.

Prior to joining SFU, I completed my M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Signal Processing) from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar in 2016, where I was supervised by Prof. Shanmuganathan Raman.
For a brief period of time, I was a special visiting student at the Unoki lab at JAIST, Japan .

I completed my B.E in Electronics and Communication Engineering from PESIT , Bangalore in 2012.
