I am a research intern in the BrAIN group at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) advised by Prof. Mariya Toneva. My primary research interests are centered around the intersection of machine learning and computational neuroscience.
Previously I was a (research) project assistant at the Indian Institute of Science under the guidance of Prof. Anirban Chakraborty, where I developed methods for training adversarially robust neural networks under low-resource constraints.
Feel free to drop me an email, if you would like to discuss possible collaborations!

Performance of existing certified defenses significantly deteriorates as training data size is reduced. We introduce a novel data-augmentation technique that
improves their data-efficiency.

Learning modality invariant features is central to the problem of Visible-Thermal cross-modal Person Reidentification (VT-ReID). We propose a simple but effective
framework, MMD-ReID, that reduces the modality gap by an explicit discrepancy reduction constraint.

Generalizing across the (in)visible spectrum
ICML-2020 Workshop on Extreme Classification, ORAL
Improvements in robustness do not translate to better intrinsic generalization (esp. in case of high imbalance or long-tail scenarios).

Climate Adaptation: Reliably Predicting from Imbalanced Satellite Data
CVPR-2020 Workshop on AGRICULTURE-VISION, ORAL
Real-World datasets usually suffer from high class imbalance, impeding a model's ability to learn effectively. We provide a comprehensive guide on the effectiveness of various state-of-the-art methodologies in a combination setting.
