Research Scientist
I am a Research Scientist on the Computer Vision team. I joined Facebook Research in July 2016. Prior to joining Facebook, I worked for self-driving car company Zoox. Prior to that, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher and a PhD Candidate in the Department of Engineering Science at the Oxford University with Prof. Andrew Zisserman and Prof. Andrea Vedaldi. Prior to Oxford, I was a student at Computer Vision Group (CVIT) at IIIT Hyderabad with Prof. C. V. Jawahar.
My research interests lie mainly in the intersection of computer vision and machine learning. Particularly large scale distributed learning, object detection, metric learning, person attributes and low precision training and inference.
