Expert Areas : Image and Video Processing, Machine and Deep Learning

I am a PhD holder in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Thapar University Patiala, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in the field. My commitment to continuous learning and professional development is reflected in my academic journey, including an AI and IoT Internship from IIT Kanpur, AI, ML, and DL Workshops from prestigious institutions such as IIT Roorkee and IIT Mandi, as well as a Master’s in Machine Learning from Edureka and Intellipaat. Moreover, my educational background extends to an MBA in IT from Symbiosis Pune, an M. Tech in ECE from PTU Jalandhar, a BE in Electronics from Shivaji University Kolhapur, and a Diploma from C-DAC Pune in Computer Programming. Drawing from my 14 years of teaching experience coupled with one year of industry exposure, I possess a comprehensive pedagogical approach that effectively engages students in subjects such as AI, ML, DL, Digital Electronics, Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Microprocessor, Microcontroller, Python, C Programming, and Front End Engineering. My teaching philosophy prioritizes critical thinking, practical application, and fostering a deep understanding of complex concepts. My research interests lie in the realm of Digital Signal, Image, and Video Processing, with an emphasis on areas like image and video forgery detection using machine learning, biomedical signal analysis, image and video analysis using machine learning techniques, COVID classification for X-ray and CT- scan images using deep learning methodologies, and cloud-based weather monitoring systems utilizing ESP-32 and Ubidots. I am proud to have contributed to the academic community through the publication of SCI journal papers, a patent, books, and presentations at Scopus-indexed and IEEE conferences.
