About
I am a dedicated Ph.D. Scholar at IIITD in New Delhi, India, with a profound passion for research. My focus lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and mental health, where I am committed to making a difference. In my interdisciplinary journey, I harness physiological data from wearable devices to develop robust predictive models for mental health assessment. I work with deep learning models and I'm continually exploring weakly supervised algorithms to glean insights into mental well-being in diverse, real-world scenarios with limited labeled data. My overarching goal is to contribute to the holistic well-being of individuals through cutting-edge technology and pioneering research.

Education
Doctor of Philosophy
2021-Present
Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, New Delhi, India
I am pursuing PhD in Department of Computer Science and Engineering. My thesis is directed towards interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Wearables , Efficient AI and mental health monitoring, management and diagnosis. I am looking into developing robust AI algorithms for better mental health support. I am working with Biosignals and Behavorial data. My present works revolves around the biasness in self-reports and I am exploring Weakly supervised learning methods.
