About my Research:

Given plentiful labeled training data, deep learning really shines when it comes to complex problems such as image classification, natural language processing, and speech recognition. I have worked on specific machine learning problems, in particular, transfer learning and domain adaptation. This research area focuses on learning in those domains where the amount of labeled training data is scarce or absent. Preferably, for the next few years, I intend to extend my research to the deep transfer context where the ideas from shallow transfer algorithms can be leveraged to learn robust deep models for industry/healthcare related problems or applications inspired from multimedia and IoT. I am also open to working on interesting and challenging inter-disciplinary problems in other fields, including but not limited to, data mining, ubiquitous computing, and pervasive computing. Auto-ML, Adversarial Learning, Meta-Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Zero-Shot Learning, and Reinforcement Learning are some of the other areas that interest me. I am looking forward to working with students who are technically strong in Mathematics and Computer Science.

He completed his Ph.D. thesis on an interesting topic “Existence and Uniqueness Results for Biphasic Mixture Models to Tumors”, Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (2020). His Ph.D. thesis is focused on mathematical modeling and analysis of biphasic mixture models (nonlinear partial differential equations) that describe the coupled phenomena of fluid flow and solid phase deformation inside soft bio-materials such as tumors. He mainly works on developing the well-posedness (existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data) in a weak sense to the nonlinear partial differential equations of the type parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic systems using some well-known mathematical techniques. Namely, the semi-discrete Galerkin method, fixed-point theorems, monotone operator approach, Lax-Milgram lemma, and Babuska-Brezzi condition etc.
