About

AI researcher with a Ph.D. in signal processing and machine learning, focused on developing deep learning frameworks for real-world decision support. My work spans anomaly detection in structured time-series data, multimodal learning architectures, and interpretable multi-label classification systems. I’ve recently worked on fine-tuning instruction-based language models using parameter-efficient methods such as LoRA, and applied them to structured information extraction from unstructured text. I’ve also explored generative modeling for visual enhancement and efficient representation learning. My interests include model adaptation, graph-based reasoning, and optimizing AI systems for real-time performance. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between research and deployment, building robust, explainable, and efficient AI systems that solve real-world problems in domains such as productivity, intelligent assistants, and digital health.
