I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at George Mason University. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Jana Kosecka and Prof. Huzefa Rangwala. My research focus is application of deep learning based methods in video understanding. More specifically, I work towards applying machine learning techniques for spatial and temporal modeling of video data. For past couple of years, I have been extensively working on Sign Language Analysis from videos. This includes building large scale datasets and developing novel machine learning models in the context of American Sign Language (ASL) recognition.

Actively looking for Machine Learning Engineering roles. [Resume] [Github Link]
