Biography

I am a final year DPhil (PhD) student in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, advised by Professor Philip Torr in Torr Vision Group and Professor Yarin Gal in OATML. I have also been closely supervised by Dr. Puneet Dokania. Previously, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India and completed my Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science from the University of Oxford.

My research mainly focuses on scalable uncertainty quantification in deep neural networks with applications in large computer vision problems. I am also interested in foundation models.

Experience

 
 
 
 
 

Research Intern

Meta AI

May 2022 – Sep 2022 New York City
Worked on improving multi-modal foundation models for a suite of open vocabulary computer vision tasks.
 
 
 
 
 

Research Intern

Meta AI

Jun 2021 – Sep 2021 Remote
Worked on generating a benchmark of out-of-distribution samples directly from any given training set. The generated samples provide a stronger reliable benchmark for evaluating OoD detection methods.
