I am currrently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. My research centers around Deep Learning and its application in Computer Vision & Explainable AI.
I obtained my PhD at at VIP lab - University of Waterloo and Machine Learning Research Group - University of Guelph where I was supervised by Dr. Alexander Wong (UWaterloo/ Canada research chair, Medical Imaging & AI) and Dr. Graham Taylor (UGuelph/ Vector Inst./ Canada research chair, ML Systems). During my PhD I also developed various POC projects for different industry partners, both as an individual contributor and later on as a team lead.
Till Feb 2020, I was the Lead AI Scientist for NextAI, a world class AI accelerator program of NEXT Canada based in Toronto, Canada. There I lead a team of AI scientists that provided AI R&D advice to various startups.
In distant past, I was a research engineer in LIP-6 - UPMC-Sorbonne University, Paris. There I had great time working with Prof. Matthieu Cord and Asst. Prof Nicolas Thome
