About me

Hello there! I am a fourth year doctoral student at the Affective Computing Lab at the University of South Florida under the supervision of Prof. Shaun Canavan. I specialize in Affective Computing, which is a branch in Computer Science that deals with developing tools to perform human behaviour analysis. I am currently pursuing my Masters + PhD in Computer Science from the University of South Florida and I received my B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from Visveraya Technological University.

My research interests include:

• Affective Computing: Analysing affective components in humans which includes emotions, expressions, action units using various modalities. The downstream application includes reflective thinking and PTSD analysis.
• Representation Learning: Utilizing the capabilites of flow-based models to explore the latent space of the affective components. The downstream applications is extended to out-of-distribution recognition and facial expression recognition
• Biometrics: Face verification on large-scale dataset and Continuous authentication of mobile users.
