I am a 5th year Ph.D. Student at the Center for Research in Computer Vision(CRCV), University of Central Florida, advised by Dr. Mubarak Shah. My primary research focuses on Geolocalization, Multimodal Learning Vision Language Models and Multi-agent Frameworks. I have also worked in Federated Learning, Privacy Preserving Computer Vision and Signal Processing.

I graduated with Bachelors in Technology(B. Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) from Indian Institute of Technology Patna(IITP) in 2020.
