I am an ECE PhD student at Signals and Inference Research Group (SiNRG), University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) working under the guidance of Prof. Romit Roy Choudhury.

I worked as a Research Fellow at LEAP Lab , Indian Institute of Science under Prof. Sriram Ganapathy. During my time at LEAP lab I focused my research on learning useful and interpretable audio representations. My work on filter-bank learning for interpretable audio front-end design for acoustic scene classification is here. A more recent work focuses on desiging learnable filter-bank for COVID-19 diagnosis. I was also associated with projects involving accent adaptation for ASR and far-field speech enhancement. To know more about my work please visit Publications.
