- B.S. in Electronics and Computer Engineering, JNTU, 2019
Research experience
- Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPSec) Lab, University of Florida (Jan 2021 - Present)
- Discovered and analyzed vulnerabilities in perception sensors, autonomous system signal processing pipelines, and their implications on downstream tasks.
- Studied and evaluated new physical world vulnerabilities in traffic sign and traffic light recognition systems used in autonomous vehicles.
- Designed novel defense strategies based on the invariable physical properties of the sensor that detect and mitigate the attack in an autonomous vehicle setting
- Davis Cancer Research Center, Radiation Oncology, UF Health (Dec 2020 - Aug 2021)
- Implemented dimensionality reduction algorithms to compute the displacement fields, used to deform CT images and track organ motion.
- Worked on the Triangulation method to track the deformed GTV surface and on a Deep texture classification model.
- Designed LSTM-based deep learning models to predict organ-specific abdominal motion with Cine-MRI.
- Modern Artificial Intelligence and Learning Technologies Lab, University of Florida (May 2020 - Aug 2020)
- Worked on a project that involved building intelligent algorithms for transportation and smart cities.
- Implemented an algorithm that predicts the traffic patterns across intersections using real-time data received from LiDAR sensors.
- Constructed the residual data across intersections, performed clustering, and classified them into events.
