👨🏻‍💻 I’m a third year ML PhD student at Georgia Tech.

🔬 My research lies at the intersection of Multimodal Learning and Sensor‑based Health Assessments, with a focus on wearables, nearables, and ambient sensors. I have a strong background in domains such as Self‑Supervised Learning, Multimodal Learning, and Foundation Models for sensor‑based applications. I also have a track record of publishing at the top ubiquitous computing and machine learning venues, such as UbiComp IMWUT, ISWC, ACM CSUR,

📚 I completed my master’s degree in Computer Science (ML Specialization) from Georgia Tech in May 2023.

🥇 Before joining Georgia Tech, I pursued my bachelor’s degree from IIIT Guwahati, where I received President’s Gold Medal with University Rank 1.

Highlights

🇫🇮 UbiComp ISWC 2025

I recently attended UbiComp ISWC 2025 and presented our recent works titled “Layout-agnostic human activity recognition in smart homes through textual descriptions of sensor triggers (tdost)” and “Thou Shalt Not Prompt: Zero-Shot Human Activity Recognition in Smart Homes via Language Modeling of Sensor Data & Activities”.

📝 My first survey paper is out!

I published my survey paper on Transfer Learning in Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition at ACM CSUR.

🌴 UbiComp ISWC 2023

I attended UbiComp ISWC 2023 and presented our recent work titled “How Much Unlabeled Data is Really Needed for Effective Self-Supervised Human Activity Recognition?”.

🏫 PhD in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech

I started my PhD in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech! I am extremely privileged to receive guidance from my advisor, Prof. Thomas Ploetz

👨🏻‍🔬 Funding

I am delighted to receive funding from Samsung Research America to continue my research on Predicting Influenza-Like Infections prior to Symptom Onset using Wearable Data. Previously, I have received funding from CISCO for developing domain adaptation frameworks in smart homes for human activity recognition!

👨🏻‍🏫 Teaching

Currently, I am teaching COMP-1019P-JA3: Machine learning for Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition: A Research Perspective at Georgia Tech, as a part of my Pre-Doctoral Fellowship. In Summer 2024, I taught CS 3600: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence at Georgia Tech. I have also served as a teaching assistant for CS 6601 Artificial Intelligence from Jan 2022 to Dec 2022, where I received multiple thank-a-teacher notes from students!
