  • Technology Development Grant from IPTIF, 2024

  • Grant from Sansera Engineering Ltd for Crack Detection using Automated Magnetic Particle Inspection through Artificial Intelligence, 2022.

  • IPTIF PhD fellowship grant, 2021 (later got converted to Technology Development grant in 2024)

  • SERB Start-up Research Grant (SRG) for Bayesian Deep Models for Efficient Privacy-Aware Learning in the Era of Big Data and Personalization, 2020

  • Start-up Research Grant from IIT Palakkad, 2017.

Other Activities

  • Florence Nightingale Data Science Talk Series, an online freely open to all monthly event where eminent researchers across the country talk to students and researchers.

  • Co-Organized Workshop on Deep Gen-AI for Molecule Exploration (DGAIME) 2024.

  • Active in spreading awareness among younger brains on data science. AI@School has been developed as one platform for this purpose.

  • A hands-on data science tutorial for beginners where unlike any other tutorial, learners can find useful codes, modify them and also execute to see the outcome. It is extremely easy to use and requires only a Google id and internet access to learn a wide range of data science tools and techniques.

  • A Learner-Simulator system called LeSi to model Covid19 pandemic and xDet, a Deep Learning based model to detect Covid19 from x-ray images on the fly.
