About Me

TLDR: Computer Scientist interested in Artificial- and Collective-Intelligence.

I am a Specialist Scientist (equivalent to Project Scientist - III) and PostDoc at the Center for infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation & Urban Planning (CiSTUP), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. Previously, I worked as a Research Engineer with the Environmental Sensing and Intelligence Group at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia. And was affiliated with the Collective Intelligence Research Group of IT University of Copenhagen as an External Scholar. Before that, I worked as a Research Engineer at the Centre for Biorobotics, TalTech.

I received my Ph.D. (in Computer Science) from the School of Information Technologies at TalTech in 2022. From April 2017 to November 2021, I worked an Early Stage Researcher with the Information Systems Group at TalTech. Prior to 2017, I was affiliated with Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi, SRM University, and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam University.

Curriculum Vitae

What I Work On

Projects

  1. LIAAV22042 [Funded by German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG)]: Explainable machine learning for human-assisted classification of freshwater fish biodiversity in fishways
    Development and testing of computer vision methods using explainable machine learning for the assessment of fish species and their migration behavior in ca. 400,000 3-minute videos collected at four underwater camera installations owned and operated by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology.

    Duration: April’ 2022 – April' 2025
    Designation: Research Staff

  2. LIAAV21092 [Funded by German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG)]: Software development for the automatic identification of fish in underwater videos from fishways
    Developing, testing and validating a fully automated AI fish counting system of 20+ freshwater fish species using more than 23 Mio. videos with fish, fish swarms and changing environmental conditions.

    Duration: April’ 2021 – August' 2024
    Designation: Research Staff

  3. EITSA20017 [Funded by HITSA IT Akadeemia]: Implementation of ICT-based technical solutions for the speciality-specific courses of the Waterway Safety Management study programme
    The aim of the project is to update and modernize the specialty-specific courses of the Waterway Safety Management study program by implementing ICT-based technical solutions and ICT-related knowledge and skills in order to bring the study program into compliance with the standards of the International Hydrographic Organization.

    Duration: April’ 2020 – July’ 2021
    Designation: Senior Research Staff

  4. LEP19022 [Funded by Archimedes Foundation, Reach-U AS]: Applied research for creating a cost-effective interchangeable 3D spatial data infrastructure with survey-grade accuracy
    The current research main target is to impact the whole spatial data management process by producing the next level 3D spatial base data layer and integrating it with widely used existing spatial databases. To be able to look the process as a whole the research will include the full process of the spatial data management - from the data generation to the spatial data infrastructure platform. One of the key elements is to understand the effect of implementing AI based automated information detection in every process to reduce costs and maximize efficiency and therefore reduce the time spent on data generation process.

    Duration: April’ 2019 – March’ 2021
    Designation: Research Staff
