About Me
I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, working under the supervision of Prof. Alan C. Bovik. My current research focuses on perceptual quality assessment of images, videos, and 3D avatar reconstruction and rendering, with a particular emphasis on chromatic distortions and how the human visual system responds to colour and quality degradations in synthesised content. This research is conducted in collaboration with Meta Reality Labs.
I hold an M.Tech in Signal Processing and Machine Learning from IIT Kharagpur, where my thesis developed a deep neural network-based codec for versatile image and video I-frame compression under the supervision of Dr. Debdoot Sheet. Prior to that, I completed a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata. My background spans convolutional neural networks, generative models, digital image processing, and learned compression.
I am broadly interested in understanding how machines and humans perceive visual quality — particularly in the context of emerging 3D content, avatar rendering pipelines, and the perceptual effects of colour and structural distortions.
