About Me

I am currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant at SyReX Lab under supervision of Dr. Sanjib Sur at the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of South Carolina (UofSC). My research interest includes Deep Learning, Computer Vision, 3D Bounding Box Detection, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and wireless Sensing. Before Ph.D., I worked as Controls Engineer at Tesla, Inc for 2 years. I have completed my M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from The University of Toledo, Ohio, USA in and undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communication from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Please look at my CV (Last updated: Aug 2024) for detail and follow my research works on github.
