Welcome to my homepage
Hey everyone, this is Snehil.
I am currently pursusing my PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. I am enrolled as a research scholar with the EEE Department. I joined PhD in 2019 July, under the guidance of Prof. M. K. Bhuyan [homepage]. I work closely with Dr. Debanga Raj Neog [homepage], who has recently joined as an Assistant Professor at Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at IIT Guwahati. I am also collaborating with Iwahori Lab [homepage] for my PhD project on Facial Expression Recognition.
My current research domain revolves around the following (and are not limited to): Facial Expression Recognition, Affective Computing, Graph Representation Learning. In my recent works, I am trying to harness the power of graph based architecture for facial expression recognition.
Background
Prior to joining PhD at IIT Guwahati, I completed my masters (M.Tech) from Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune in Robotics. During my 2nd year, I had the opportunity to work in one of the labs of DRDO, Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ISRD Division) at Bengaluru. Here, I worked with Mr. Shashank Bhushan, Scientist ‘C’, CAIR DRDO. My work was based on Monocular Depth Estimation for drones. I used ROS for this project.
I received my Bachelor’s degree from National Institute of Technology, Raipur in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.
In my free time, I learn and build new things and constantly update my skills. Recently, I have also started contributing (at a very small scale, just began) to Open Source in GitHub. Currently I am learning about Graph Neural Networks and the libraries that implement them like PyTorch Geometric and Spektral. I am open for collaborations revolving around my domain (you can drop a text on LinkedIn or my mail). I am actively looking for research internship opportunities or fellowships to aid my research and increase my exposure.
I love Mathematics, you can check my profile and some answers to basic questions, out at mathstackexchange here
