Demonstrated managerial and teaching skills in both academic and industry settings.

Academic Guidance and Supervision

Supervised 4 master's degree final-year major projects (IIT Hyderabad, India).
Supervised 6 final-year undergraduate engineering projects and 2 PhD students (SMIT and IIT Hyderabad, India).
Mentored and guided students on research topics, including algorithm design, hardware implementation, and research methodology.
Presently mentoring 2 PhD students, 2 master's students, and 1 undergrad in the Computer Science and Electronic Engineering department, University of Essex, UK.

Led a DRDO (Defense Research Development Organization) project focused on designing a compressed version of VGGNET for object classification and tracking.
Led a team of 5 engineers on a defence project (DRDO) on digital scene matching application for target tracking.
Led teams at Ceremorphic Technologies on various AI/ML projects, including:
- Optimizing algorithm design for computer vision applications (object detection/recognition, person recognition).
- Designing an efficient pipeline for distant person detection and recognition in 4K video using GPUs.
- Developing a novel deep neural design and pipeline architecture for person re-identification in high-resolution video.
- Creating a fragmented Huffman-based compression methodology for CNNs targeting resource-constrained edge devices.
- Developing a novel approach in WIFI-CSI based person fall detection.

Designed AI/ML basic, intermediate and advanced modules and provided training in faculty development programs as an industry expert to colleges like College of Engineering and Technology, Jalgaon, and JNTUA College of Engineering (Autonomous) Ananthapuramu, etc., Hyderabad, India.
Developed a Neural Network Accelerator Design course (IIT Hyderabad, India).
