About Me

Hi! I am Kartik. I am a final year undergraduate computer science engineering student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani. I am fascinated by human-computer interaction and its applications in real life. My research interests primarily lie in machine learning and artificial intelligence and their applications in different domains. My current research focuses on AI Video Understanding, Object Detection, Image Segmentation, and solving remote sensing problems using computer vision.

I am currently working at Samsung Research Institute, Bangalore, India, in the domain of AI Video Understanding. The project involves predicting the action being done in an image (Eg. A Dog and a cat are playing with a ball.) The existing model uses transformers for multi-label classification and uses static querying. I am working on making the model scalable and robust by incorporating dynamic querying into the model.

I am also working as a research assistant at The Advanced Data Analytics and Parallel Technologies Lab, BITS Pilani, to estimate crop yield using multivariate time series analysis of fusion of Landsat and Sentinel satellite data.

Alongside, I am working as a research assistant at Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-CEERI), Pilani, under Dr. Dhiraj Sangwan, on an instance segmentation framework to recognize highly cluttered instances of contraband items. I have previously worked on implementing an efficient framework for optimizing portfolios using machine learning.

Currently, I am actively looking for research opportunities starting in fall 2022. I am inclined to pursue higher studies and research in this field and further contribute with my expertise to research in diverse domains.

I am either at the gym or binging tv shows/animes in my free time. I love traveling, and I have traveled to 20 states in India and experienced Singapore and Malaysia's culture. I like to relax by listening to pop and r&b music or reading a book.

Thank you for visiting my site, and if you have any inputs, I would love to hear from you!
