Postdoc @ ISIR, Sorbonne Université

Hi there! I am currently a Postdoc in MLIA team at ISIR, Sorbonne Univerity with Prof. Matthieu Cord. Previously, I was a PhD student at LTCI, Telecom Paris under the supervision of Prof. Florence d’Alche and Prof. Pavlo Mozharovskyi, on the topic of interpretability of neural networks, applied on image or audio data. I completed my bachelors and masters in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay (specialization: Communication and Signal Processing). For my master’s thesis, I worked with Prof. Preeti Rao and Prof. Yi-Hsuan Yang on Speech-to-Singing conversion.

Broadly, I am interested by machine learning applications on audio and visual domains. Barring research, I enjoy playing/involving myself with chess, squash, calisthenics or following sports (primarily football, boxing, cricket).
